Again so sorry for your pain, I did not know that shingles stayed around for years.  Thanks to your story I am getting the vaccine

Hello there is a lidocaine patch called Lidoderm, it was made for people who have shingles pain.  It is very helpful and in fact since being introduced people are using for back pain, tennis elbow, etc. It numbs the nerve pain.  A doctor invented for his wife who suffered from shingles. It is not to expensive though it is a prescription
Good luck
