Post shingles neuropathy is likely and it will be critical for you to let your doc know as there are specific treatments, including steroids in the acute phase that might help reducing the intensity of the pain. Taking couple of Norco (ok to) doses will only provide partial relief and you need a better medium to long term plan.
