@paulbklyn Good morning and welcome to MayoClinicConnect. We’re a community who try to support one another through shared health experiences. I’m sorry that I know nothing about post herpetic neuralgia. Have the doctors who have treated you explained why the pain continues? What have they suggested?
I’m going to ask @ethanmcconkey if he can move your post to a discussion where it will het more notice

I had multiple shingles outbreaks. Post Herpetic Neuralgia is not a common conditiopn. It is permanent nerve damage. I didnt know what it was, until I got it. I have been to numerous doctors - GP, Pain Management (I have seen about 5 different ones), acupuncture, cold laser therapy. I have had a spinal cord implanted and removed. A week ago, I had a peripherial nerve stimulator implanted. I have not been given any relief. I have tried all the standard and not standard meds for pain. No opiates, of course. I would appreciate you moving my post. Information from others with PHN would be helpful.

Thank you.
