I had painful rashes on my back and abdomen which eventually subsided leaving scars but chronic pain still persists. I am having
severe back and abdominal pain for the past one week. How long will it last and what is the best treatment?
My dr prescribed Valtrex, which decreases the length of time that you have the symptoms, and helps prevent future problems. Best wishes, I’m going thru the same thing.
what is the proper treatment for the chronic pain that occurs after a bout of shingles rashes?

Because the shingles affects the nerve endings it can take quite a while to get over a bout.Taking paracetamol will help, but if the pain gets to much go to the doctors.

Also, anti-depressants help manage chronic pain, but they are very addicting – I know – I’m addicted to them myself.
