The pain from shingles is likely to last for a long time and sometimes forever in life and you need painkillers when it is severe the pain of shingles can be excruciating, but the condition goes away in a few weeks -- for most people. This is called postherpetic neuralgia (phn), a form of neuropathic pain that can last for months or years, even after the virus is no longer active.
