For nearly ten years, John Murray lived with severe nerve pain caused by shingles.
The condition is called post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) — and it is one of the most painful long-term complications of shingles.
John described the pain as constant, burning, and unbearable. Even wearing a shirt caused agony. Medications failed. Nothing worked.
Then John discovered Dr. Demetrio Aguila, a pain-focused peripheral nerve surgeon at Healing Hands of Nebraska.
After reviewing John’s history and performing detailed nerve mapping, Dr. Aguila determined that the damaged intercostal and cutaneous nerves in John’s chest were sending constant pain signals to the brain.
Through a specialized nerve procedure, those damaged pathways were surgically disconnected — preventing the pain signals from reaching John’s brain.
The result?
John put on a shirt and felt nothing.
For the first time in a decade.
Today, John is hopeful about his future and grateful he no longer lives under the shadow of constant nerve pain.
If you or someone you love is suffering from post-herpetic neuralgia, this story proves that relief is possible.
