Pain specialist: Post-herpetic neuralgia is a common complication of shingles. Most patients do improve with time. However since you have had pain for a year, it would be prudent to consult a pain specialist. See this site for info on this topic. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/postherpetic-neuralgia/basics/definition/con-20023743
