Interesting, I just had shingles in March and after I finished my medication I woke up with a swollen foot on the opposite side of having shingles. This foot felt very bruised on the bottom and the back of my toes felt the same as yours. I could barely put my weight on it. It’s less swollen no but is still a problem. The toes feel numb and slightly swollen especially if I have been on them all day. Have you fond out any new information since? Patty
