Hi Mike @fluffy10, Welcome to Connect. PHN is under the Neuropathy group. There are several discussions that might be helpful:
-- Shingles and Postherpetic Neuralgia and Pain: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/shingles-and-neuropathic-pain/
-- Postherpetic neuralgia from Shingles: Low Level Laser Therapy: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/chronic-phn-from-shingles-red-light-cold-laser-therapy/.
-- Postherpetic Neuralgia (Shingles) nerve damage: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/postherpetic-neuralgia-shingles-nerve-damage-around-eye-eyebrow-forehead-scalp-8/.

According to the CDC - "The most common complication of shingles is long-term nerve pain called postherpetic neuralgia (PHN)." -- https://www.cdc.gov/shingles/about/complications.html.

Do have PHN from shingles?
