I received the shingles shot in November 2019 and one month later my right foot started going numb. Advance to todays date both feet are numb and both hands. When I sit the pain is severe. Before I got the shot I was in great shape and now I'm a mess. Balance is off and if I close my eyes I'll fall over if I'm not holding on to something.

Hello @markofex1 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am sorry to hear about your decline in health. Have you been seeing a neurologist? What are you doing for your pain?

I also, had my shots in 2019. Same thing with me, feet, burning throughout body, affected legs, etc. Had every test done under the sun including neurologist testing and nothing was found. As fast as it came on it lasted 4 months then disappeared, now the burning and numbness started again in the feet only when I sleep. Who knows what these vaccines can do, and if things can be recurring. I had to have therapy on my legs because of the vaccine as I had no balance, could hardly walk, etc.

I was returning something to doctor's and sat down for half an hour. When I got up, I felt a numbness in my lower legs including my feet. Never had before. The ER to hospital was in same building so I decided to go in. They found elevated troponin, did an angiogram and found severe coronary artery blockage. I have NOT had the Shingrix vaccine
My point is that any suspected reaction to any vaccine or medication should be reported through channels. Attributing the cause of every ache and pain that comes along to a vaccine or medication if not clearly stated in the accompanying literature is not scientific. Only a qualified individual can draw conclusions
