Shingles Vaccine Zostavax Caused Peripheral Neuropathy, Lawsuit Alleges April 3, 2019 Irvin Jackson Add Your Comments The side effects of the singles vaccine Zostavax allegedly caused a Kentucky woman to develop painful and permanent nerve damage, known as peripheral neuropathy, according to a recently filed product liability lawsuit. The complaint (PDF) was filed by Rita Bishop on March 21, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, indicating that Merck & Co. sold a dangerous vaccine for prevention of shingles, and failed to adequately warn about the potential Zostavax risks. Bishop indicates that she was inoculated with the shingles vaccine Zostavax in October 2012, which has been commonly given to older adults over the past decade as a preventative measure. However, shortly after the injection, she developed peripheral neuropathy and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuritis. Learn More About Zostavax Shingles Lawsuits Side effects of the shingles vaccine Zostavax may result in the development of a painful and persistent strain of shingles Learn More SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATION Learn More About Zostavax Shingles Lawsuits Side effects of the shingles vaccine Zostavax may result in the development of a painful and persistent strain of shingles Learn More SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATION Zostavax was introduced in May 2006, as a single dose vaccine for prevention of shingles among individuals over the age of 50. It is a more potent version of the Merck chickenpox vaccine, Varivax, which contains the live varicella zoster virus. However, an alarming number of problems have been reported, where users experienced longer and more painful shingles outbreaks and other infections, which were allegedly caused by use of an “under-attenuated” version of the virus that was not sufficiently weakened to avoid reactivating the dormant virus in some users. The lawsuit argues that Bishop and other individuals who received the vaccine eere not adequately warned about the potential health risks. The complaint indicates that Merck knew about the risks from data obtained during clinical trials before it was approved by the FDA. “The patient information sheet, as well as the label and prescribing information for Zostavax at all times relevant hereto, did not adequately, if at all, address the risk of viral infection,” Bishop’s lawsuit states. “All that was addressed is the concern that a rash and itching might develop at the injection site. This is despite the fact that shingles was a noted occurrence during clinical trials of the vaccine.” Given common questions of fact and law raised in Zostavax shingles vaccine lawsuits filed throughout the federal court system, the litigation has been centralized before U.S. District Judge Harvey Bartle III in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, for coordinated discovery and pretrial proceedings as part of a federal MDL, or multi-district litigation. As lawyers continue to investigate and file additional claims on behalf of people who have experienced problems from Zostavax, the size of the litigation is expected to continue to grow over the coming months and years. While all cases filed throughout the federal court system are currently centralized before Judge Bartle, if Merck fails to reach Zostavax settlements or another resolution for the claims following bellwether trials, each individual lawsuit may eventually be remanded back to different U.S. District courts nationwide for separate trial dates in the future.

I already have neuropathy in my hands, feet and lower half of my legs. I just took myself off Lyrica (gabapentin) because after a while it makes things worse. It messed with my head. Forgetfulness, having to write everything down, etc. Then my feet , legs and hands started to swell. Now I am improving and feeling better. But my doctor wants me to get the shots for shingles. I know shingles can be extremely painful as my son got them and stayed in bed so no one would touch him as he was in severe pain. I don’t want shingles but I also don’t want to go backwards either. So I guess I’m in a loosening position. So I guess I’ll wait for Nov. for my neurologist appointment. I’m glad for all the comments as it has been a real eye opener. I would not recommend Gabapentin because after a while it can make you worse like it did me. I may feel pain I didn’t feel before but in the long run I am better without it. Heather May 1, 2023 I got this shot because someone I knew got it and I didn’t think anything of it.. Felt horrible for 2 weeks and my left arm where I got my shot still aches and then after about 45 days my hands started to ache and feel numb.. both of them and then my left arm started aching and when I go to get up my legs ache.. WTH.. do not get this shot! I better get better soon! They say if you are younger you might have side effects either way this is wrong and unbelievable!!! I wish I could take it back and not get the Shingrix shot.. and the pharmacist did not say oh by the way your could get gbs from this! Don’t do it! Annette January 11, 2023 I received the first dose of Shingrix in May, 2021. I experienced the joint pain & feeling pretty lousy for the first 48 hours but then I was fine. My husband only experienced soreness at the injection site. But…about a month later I felt like my feet were burning. Then my fingers felt tingly. I have had blood tests for almost everything that might cause this, MRI’s, and tests for both large fiber & small fiber neuropathy. All tests come out normal. I’m on Gabapentin prescribed by a neurologist for peripheral neuropathy. Then my symptoms seem to improve….I tried to taper off the Gabapentin but I’m now back to increasing my dose per my neurologist. I did have the 2nd dose of Shingrix in September, 2021 as I made no connection. I hope that this resolves because the burning sensation on the bottoms of my feet have greatly affected the quality of my life. I used to enjoy long walks….not so much anymore. I am a strong advocate for preventative health & the wonderful vaccines we have. But… if this is a problem due to the Shingrix vaccine it really is disappointing. Lyly December 9, 2022 Yes I have some form of neuropathy after my 2nd vaccine in Nov 2022 Kim December 9, 2022 I received my first shingles shot on Oct 21, 2022 thru CVS Pharmacy Lewisville, Texas, I hardly had any soreness the next day in my left arm, as time has passed I noticed my arm tingles alot, it goes numb and it has a continuous achy feeling to it. My left arm was totally fine prior to the shot and if this is from the first shot, I don’t want to image what happens after the second shot, so I will not be getting the second dose. The tingling and continuous achy feeling is so so so nerve racking. John December 5, 2022 I received my first Shingles shot November 14, 2022. I continue to have localized pain and soreness in my left arm where shot was administered. In addition, I cannot sleep on my left side due the pain in my left arm and now noticing some loss of strength and pain when exercising. Charlene November 14, 2022 Within less than a month after the Shingrix vaccine I developed neuropathy in my feet and it is extremely painful and crippling!!! This is CRIMINAL!!!!! I am going broke seeing neurologists and paying for expensive prescriptions and DOCTOR BILLS due to the severe PAIN!! My career as a Dolly Parton impersonator is suffering because I can barely walk in high heels required for my job! There MUST be some sort of reprieve!!!!!!!!! Marcia P Carter October 9, 2022 I had an extreme Shingles outbreak at age of about 22 years old. A band of blisters, 4 to 6 inches wide, around half of my right upper torso including some breast area. I thought I would die. I share this because I got healed eventually seeing a conscientious Physician. I was left with deep pock marks over that area. Over my adult years a few outbreaks, small quarter to half dollar size patches have erupted on my left neck area. What ever Phycian caring for me at the time prescribed ACYCLOVIR 800MG tablets, Generic for Zovirax. In seven days of 5 pills a day pain gone, blisters drying, cured. At age 84 my doctor offered what was hailed as a permanent cure to never have a Shingles outbreak again! A 2 dose injection, SHINGRIX. I scheduled my first shot on November 19, 2019. My arm was very sore and ached for 2 to three days. I felt good. The second shot, within the designated wait time, at a Walgreens pharmacy in Southern Calif. ANOTHER sore arm and shoulder. But all finished. At this writing, 10/2022, I have been experiencing progressive sensations of numbness and tingling in both hands and feet since 2019. I am not diabetic verified by September ’22 blood test. Out of fear I have stopped driving my very nice car because of the numbness in my feet and hands. Please advise. Bob September 26, 2022 I had my 2nd Shingrix shot last Tuesday. No side effects from the 1st shot other than soreness where the shot was injected. No problems to start. At 10 the next morning I began feeling woozy. I had to call in sick for work for 2 days. On Thursday I started having some pain in my other (dominant) arm and elbow. It has progressively gotten worse. I now have the full-blown pain, numbness, electric shock, and tingling that others describe. I can’t imagine this being a permanent part of my life every time I use my right arm. Sharon September 16, 2022 I had my first shingrix shot in October 2020. My husband & I both went to CVS to get it done. I had watched my 82 year old father suffer terribly with shingles & later nerve damage, that still lingers with him 3 years later, & I convinced my husband that we needed to get vaccinated against shingles. My husband had no issues after the shot, not even a sore arm, I didn’t fare as well. I’m in my 60’s & haven’t been the same since & even though my doctor insists that shingrix is not the culprit, I’m not convinced. Immediately after my first shot, my right arm went completely numb & remained tingling for several hours afterwards. The next day my right arm, the shot arm broke out in a itchy rash & I started running a fever. By day three I was knocked completely on my butt. Fever, chills, rash, pounding headache & throwing up. I cried I felt so sick. Our next shot was scheduled for March 2021. I was very hesitant to even get the 2nd dose but my doctor was convinced that shingrix was safe & to get the complete benefit the 2nd dose was needed. My husband also wanted us both to get the 2nd dose especially after watching my father suffer with shingles. Reluctantly I did… I wish I hadn’t. It was a repeat of my first experience…numb arm & sick but what slowly started happening over the next year is even worse. It wasn’t immediate it was gradual. I’ve never felt the same. I’ve always been in great health on no meds. I lost all energy, stiff legs when rising, tingling in both arms, legs & face that comes & goes. Some days worse then others. Bladder retention issues that have landed me in the ER. Various other pains & stiffness. It’s been two years since my first shot. I’m praying this will all eventually go away. Irene September 10, 2022 It’s scary reading all the comments. I had my first shingles vaccine on 9/9/22 and I immediately felt muscle pain to my back left side. I didn’t pay attention to it, but as the day progressed it was worse! I had a slight fever and shivering during the night. The worse part is the back pain! This morning it was on both sides of my back and the pain was excruciating! I couldn’t get out of bed and sitting on the toilet and getting up had me in tears. Felt dizziness due to so much pain. I should have never taken the vaccine. I pray that after the third day I will be pain free. 🥲 Lina September 7, 2022 I had my first dose of Shingrix about a month and a half ago and had extreme pain on my left arm, under arm and side for about two weeks, now my arm feels numb and tingles so does my left left and feet. I had it to prevent shingles and ended up like this. I was feeling completely fine before. Will not be going for the second dose at all. Inaam August 2, 2022 I have received both doses of the vaccine, one in July 2021 the other in October. Recently I am losing feelings in my feet and have been diagnosed with neuropathy. I have no other reason for it, not diabetic, not an alcoholic . My symptoms are getting worse. Pain is mostly in feet and hands, but also in hip and random other places. I have numbness all over. Allison July 29, 2022 I had my first shingles vaccine in November 2021 and the second one in January 2022. About 2 days after the second vaccine, I noticed muscle weakness in my legs, which has continued to this day, with no end in sight. I am waiting to get a nerve conduction study, but I am convinced this was caused by the shingles vaccine. I’m getting ready to start physical therapy soon, I hope it helps. Regina July 17, 2022 I had the first shingrix vaccine in November, 2021. One week later when I started to get out of bed, I couldn’t walk. For 3 weeks , I walked with a cane. I didn’t drive for about 2 months. Now I have neuropathy. It’s the most painful thing that I have ever been through. There is no relief for it. I always will believe that the shot affected me this way. I was fine until then. And no, I will not take the second dose. Michael June 30, 2022 Relate- much! Muscle/ joint aches evolving since first and second Shingrix vacc. Nov. 2021 and Feb. 2022. Arms are the worst, then hips, neck, back. Cannot move arms and shoulders too much . Please oh please help! Eileen June 30, 2022 After having the second shot of shingles I developed neuropathy in my foot and still looking for answers , Georgeann June 6, 2022 On May 26th I had my 2nd Shingle shot (1st one I had no reaction) 3 days later I had such pain in my feet. I saw a Dr. and got a prescription for Gabapentin for feet neuropathy. This helps with the pain but leaves me with terrible symptoms such as feeling loopy, I feel like I am unsteady on my feet and going to fall into a wall, lightheaded and all I want to do is sleep. My job requires that I stand for 8 hours a day. I have had to call out several time and it’s only been a short time. Is this going to go away? Darlene May 25, 2022 Like most of you I received my 1st shot on February 11, 2022, I started with flu like symptoms. Shortly I developed neuropathy in my left hand, the arm the injection was in, then very bad pain in my shoulders it got to the point that I could not raise both arms at all. My doctor gave me a steroid shot and it brought some relief. After a couple weeks asked my doctor’s office to give me oral steroids to see if that helped. It helped out a great deal, but still have pain in inflammation which I believe the vaccine caused. I have never had problems before this and I will not be going back for the 2nd shot. I went to an Orthopedic and now starting PT. I just wish that they will believe you instead of looking at you like you are crazy. I am trying to push through the pain everyday and my life is not the same. I wish all of you the best!!! Loucia May 16, 2022 Don’t risk it. I’ve had the shingles but did not get the vaccine. Since the vaccine causes these problems especially nerve problems I would sue for damages. Wanda May 15, 2022 Within the first week of shingles vaccine I’m experiencing neuropathy pan in my right arm (injection site) JOHN May 14, 2022 Received shingrix shot on 10/21/2020. Shortly after had numbness starting in the middle finger on right side. It continued to get worse. I was tested for carpel tunnel and then for a pinched nerve. Results were negative. The fact that it came on so suddenly ,my thought was that it may have been the shingles shot. I still have the neuropathy in both hands and legs but mainly on right arm which is we’re I got the shot. I am immunosupressed do to a heart transplant that I received in January 1991. I’m convinced it was the shingles shot which brought on the neuropathy . ANDREA May 12, 2022 I too have received my first and second Shingrix vaccination shots and noticed that my right arm pain (shot location) has lasted months after the shot was administered, as well as numbness and tingling in my right hand. I take Cymbalta twice a day and Gabapentin at night before bed, but the pain, numbness and tingling do not go away. My PCP recommended that since I am 50+ that it was time that I was given the Shingrix vaccine to be up to date on my immunizations. I regret agreeing to be given the Shingrix vaccination. Had I known that it caused peripheral neuropathy, then I may not have agreed to be given the vaccine. Richard April 17, 2022 Glad I found this. I too was a victim of getting a shingle 1st shot in January 2022 and soon after I’ve developed a strong case of peripheral neuropathy. Haven’t felt great ever since. I’m not going to risk getting the 2nd shot either Sam April 3, 2022 I received the first of the two dose shingles shots a few weeks ago. The last two weeks I’ve developed peripheral neuropathy of my hands and feet. I went to the doctor and I thought maybe it was a pinched nerve or something but it is progressed…. There’s no other cause found for it. I refuse to have the second vaccine. I also can’t find anything else that would be causing it. All the articles and stuff on the vaccine says nothing about this problem side effect. Sophie March 18, 2022 In 2021, I at 57 I was in what I deemed my best physical shape in my adult life. In January I had my first dose of the Shingrix vaccine. Ten days later, I developed sudden widespread nerve pain including electric shocks, tingling, numbness and burning sensation. My skin was and is still sensitive when washing my face or hair. I was referred to a neurologist who ordered an MRI, cat scan and extensive blood work. Everything came back normal. She eventually sent me for a skin biopsy and I was diagnosed with small fibre disease or neuropathy. I spent a lot of time last year trying to do my exercices in the morning as I felt it was important to push through but I also spent a lot of time in bed as the pain left me with no energy. I never did get my 2nd dose of Shingrix and there was no other thing that changed in my life except taking that vaccine. My neurologist thinks I had an adverse reaction to the vaccine and eventually I should get better. I’m on my 2 year and see improvements. I’m currently on medication for the pain and also taking vitamin E as well. I would encourage others to seek medical help to try and obtain answers. I feel I was lucky to have a good neurologist and also answers. Jeff March 18, 2022 Interesting comments here. I can understand what everyone is going through. I got the 2 Shingrix vaccines September and October 2019. Both times was knocked on my butt for about 3 days. Last October I caught Covid. Fought it for 2 weeks until I realized I needed help so I went into the hospital. Immediately after receiving steroid shots I was feeling better but had inflammatory pneumonia. I was released after 4 nights and the doctor told me I would be fine in a couple months (I was in extremely great shape). Here’s where it goes south, and I am convinced that the shingles shot is a factor). 2 1/2 weeks later my left hand stared getting numb. Then my chin and tongue, then right hand, left foot then right foot. They thought I had a compressed spine, but after an MRI, determined it was neurological. Over several weeks of progressively going downhill, now with pain, my neurologist set me up for immunoglobulin infusion therapy. I was non-functional and completely debilitated. Within days the progression stopped. Within 6 weeks I no longer needed a cane to walk. After 2 months and 3 treatments, my mouth is completely healed, the feeling and strength in my hands is returning, and I can now walk heal to toe without my feet feeling like rubber or in severe pain (although there is still some discomfort). the myelin covering my nerves is healing. it will take some time, but my doctor was amazed at my progress and told me he expects a full recovery after seeing my improvement over the weeks. initially, he was not sure if I would recover. this therapy is very expensive ($5k per infusion), but is a miracle. Fight with your insurance companies because they will not approve willingly. An EMG by your neurologist will help sell the need for immunoglobulin. Hope this helps you all get well. Jeff Rose March 8, 2022 I’m so glad I found this. Like so many others, I have had the shingles vaccine on two different times. Got my 1st shingles vaccine 4 years ago, then got shingles again & got 2nd vaccine 3 years ago. I also developed neuropathy of both feet soon after the second shot. I’m on Gabapentin & ibuprofen trying to get relief. My previous dr thought I had diabetes & put me on diabetic meds. That lasted one week & got off of them finding out I am Not diabetic. I’ve been to so many different Drs looking for answers. I’m now going to chiropractor for back pain which I thought was causing my neuropathy. I’m released to read so many others have this problem & probably caused from the shingles vaccine . I’ve been in a goby for 2 years now. If anyone has answers please contact me. Chuck March 1, 2022 I received my 1st Shingles shot in late Sept-2019. Within days I developed Neuropathy in my feet. I received the 2nd shot in Nov-2019 and my left arm through my left pinky was numb. I have taken Gabapentin/Cymbalta which have not helped at all. I have seen two Neurologist and neither one of them can help. Daniel February 14, 2022 I am experiencing all the same symptoms as others. Have been to numerous doctors with no conclusions. How do I get involved? Lisa February 11, 2022 I just got my first shot for the shingles vaccine which my Dr. was highly recommending. I am a very healthy 53 year old. Couple days after the shot my left foot started a weird tingling in ball of my foot area – it felt like an electric probe and I even thought something was vibrating through the floor at first. The tingling pins and needles has continued and now the entire foot is tingling constantly. I hope this is not permanent neuropathy. It has been 10 days. .. Ella January 31, 2022 Got the 2nd shingle shot last week. Today, about a week later I got extensive nerve pain in my shoulder, arm, and numbness in my arm and hand. Went to the doctor and she never mentioned anything about nerve damage that could occur but prescribed me Gabapentin 100 mg for every three hours, doesn’t help, and I’m supposed to be going to pain management therapy first available date, February 21st. What? Shot was received at Rite Aid. This is unbelievable and unacceptable! jay January 20, 2022 I had shingles shot at VA clinic and have neuropathy in my right hand. At first it was numbness in right hand thumb and index finger and now I have sharp pain in right hand. Prescribed Gabapentin but doesn’t seem to help. Hildegarde October 28, 2021 Nine months ago I got the two-part Shingrix shots for Shingles. Since my 2nd shot, I have experienced a lot of joint pain and swelling, often accompanied by sharp pains, particularly in my hands. I hear so many warnings and advertisements about how seniors should get vaccinated for Shingles but very little about these lasting, serious side effects. I would do anything to turn the clock back and never get this shot! Julie September 20, 2021 My father got the vaccine 9/2019 and 2 days later was in the hospital so confused and trouble walking. He did not even know his own birthday. The doctors preformed many tests and they could not find anything wrong with him. Ever since than he has had trouble with his balance and still experiencing memory problems Claire September 2, 2021 I had Shingles in 2002. On my doctor’s recommendation, I got the Varicella-zoster vaccine in 2013. Again, on my doctor’s recommendation, I got the Shingrix vaccine a few weeks ago (August 2021). I wake up several times at night because my arm and hand feels like they are on fire. I have strong pain throughout the the day. I have an appointment to see a neurologist. I would recommend that people think very carefully before having this vaccine, especially if they have had Shingles and/or a previous vaccine. Deb August 23, 2021 My doctor recommended me to get the shingles vaccine. Almost immediately I got neuropathy with no help from physical therapy for relief. Michelle July 24, 2021 I received shingrex in the summer of 2020 as a requirement to begin treatment for rheumatoid arthritis with the drug Xeljanz. My doctor said this neuropathy is due to my rheumatoid arthritis but I never had these symptoms till I was given shingrex. I had I continue that weekend and didn’t even know I had urinated. Since then I have suffered from pain and numbness in my feet, legs and hands. I am taking lyrica for the pain which helps as the pain was excruciating. Tara May 18, 2021 My husband received the Shingrix vaccine in an attempt to save him. He was breaking out in shingles every few months and had to stay on anti virals. The night of the shot he had the flu like symptoms, but also tremendous pain in his legs from his feet to his hips. By day three this had gone away. A couple of days later the numbness in his feet started and has continues to move upwards to just above his knees. He was injected on 4/14/2021. Its now 5/18 and he is scheduled for several scans and tests already. I’m TERRIFIED OUT OF MY MIND!!! What has this poison done to my husband? What is it doing to our family? Susan May 10, 2021 Last year got Covid mild case thought it was sinus infection. On 3/5 got Mederma got sicker than having Covid. Refused to get second shot. Got 1st shingles shot in January, no reaction. Did not get 2nd shot. In mid November my stomach started feeling like bees were stinging it. After every drs appointment, colonoscopy, GYN, dermatologist, heart scan, passed with flying colors. Three weeks ago, playing tennis little tingling in feet. Three weeks later neurologist stated you have neuropathy. It went from my feet to legs, thighs with in 2 days. Waiting for blood test Dr has me on meds for the inflammation. Not sure if it’s Covid or vaccine causing this. If I had know all this would never had any vaccines. Fhelicia April 20, 2021 I got the 2nd Shingrix vaccine last Thurs. The next day I started feeling pain in both legs,thighs and tingling in feet. I went to ER to rule ot blood clots from J&J vaccine a month ago. It just dawned on me that it could be the Shingrix. I googled it and I see others have had issues. I will ask my doctor could neuropathy occur that fast. Elaine April 5, 2021 I was vaccinated twice with the shingles vaccine. Within a year I have developed Peripheral Neuropathy. I am seeking treatment. My feet is numb, tingling, and prickly. I cannot wear shoes, hosiery comfortably or sleep well at night. Sue February 7, 2021 I had peripheral neuropathy lower extremeties from Lyme have positive test results and neurological diagnosis! Pharmacist NEVER told me I could get neuropathy I already had it!!!! I have proof of shot dec 1st 2016 she didn’t have me fill out front of consent form!! I have it and the “RA” brochure- now I am bedridden only learned damages a few months ago!!! Linda November 8, 2020 I had the shingle shots a month ago and I’m having the neuropathy pain in my feet. That was the first place I felt pain after my first shot. I came home and I said to my husband my feet hurt like crazy. The next day it kicked my butt I felt so bad ached all over and fever. I could not move I hurt so bad. I even had to take my ponytail down because my hair on my head hurt. The second shot done me the same way. So now my feet have continued to hurt with needle sticks tingling and numbness. I hope this will go away. Sherie July 13, 2020 I had the Zostavax shot on Oct. 6 2018 and developed neuropathy within a year. The pain in my feet is horrible and keeps me from enjoying many things in my life. I have had it for two years now. Mary Ann March 28, 2020 I am a 62 year old female and at the time caring for an elderly man in Bristol CT. I recieved the shingles vaccine in 2017, about 6 months after I got shingles, I couldn’t believe it. I went to urgent care and they thought it was first poison ivy, though I was always inside it didn’t respond to steroids so then they thought it was a fungus, the medicine for that didn’t help, then I finally went to my primary care doctor’s clinic and saw someone for emergency appts…it was so painful, there was like a deep pain under the rash..she pulled up pictures of shingles and agreed it looked like that, gave me medication but told me it was probably too late to help. It resolved itself in a couple more weeks. But I never heard that the vaccine could be the reason why I am having horrible problems with my feet, the pain is almost daily and starts a little while after I wake up and continues and gets worse as the evening goes on, I wake up sometimes screaming because my feet are literally on fire, I thought it had something to do with my car accident in 1998, I never thought it could be because of vaccine. It actually started about 2 1/2 years ago which would make that end of 2017. Oh my Lord, I never knew that. A lawyer contacted me once but I thought I really didn’t want to sue over getting shingles, it was very painful but it went away, my insurance covered everything but I didn’t know it could be responsible for the pain I deal with every day and getting worse until I’ve questioned whether I can go on living like this, so yes I would like to talk to a lawyer, a GOOD lawyer, one who cares more about the after effects over the payoff. The other night K woke up crying because my entire leg was on fire, like someone lit a torch under my leg, it was always in my feet, it seems to be getting worse. Janet March 17, 2020 I received both types of vaccinations, Zostervax and Shingrix. I now have painful peripheral neuropathy in both feet to a point where I have trouble sleeping at night and wearing almost any type of shoe is painful. Patricia March 2, 2020 I received the Zostavax shingles vaccine on 7/21/17, and shortly after receiving it, I was diagnosed with Neuropathy and have been in tremendous pain ever since.
