Did you ever get the rash? (some people get the burning/pain but no rash). Or the rash went away, but you are you still having pain? It's common for pain to continue for several weeks after the telltale rash and blisters of shingles have cleared. When pain is still present more than four months later, this is called postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). This condition causes the pain of shingles to last for weeks or months, (sometimes years). At this point, there's no rash, only shooting or tingling pain in a particular area. If you are concerned, see your doctor.
