From Sleepless Nights to Pain-Free Days: Dwayne's Journey Through Postherpetic Neuralgia Relief Life After Shingles: A Daily Struggle


For Dwayne Dennis of Albuquerque, New Mexico, life after shingles was anything but normal. What started as a viral infection quickly turned into postherpetic neuralgia—a form of chronic nerve pain that lingered long after the shingles rash had disappeared. “In the beginning, it was every day, every night,” Dwayne recalls. “It was difficult to sleep. It was a nightmare.” The pain didn’t just affect his nights—it took a toll on his personality and his relationships. “I felt bad for her… and noticed my temperament wasn’t what it should be. I was short-tempered.”


Searching for a Real Solution. Like many suffering from chronic nerve pain, Dwayne tried everything he could think of. But real answers seemed elusive—until he found Dr. Demetrio Aguila on YouTube. “I was looking everywhere, but I found him on YouTube. I looked at the testimonials there and then made an appointment.” Dwayne's discovery of Dr. Aguila, a leading peripheral nerve surgeon known for innovative treatment approaches, was life-changing.


The Breakthrough: Targeting the Nerves. Dr. Aguila suggested starting with a diagnostic nerve block injection. This temporary treatment would help determine whether the affected nerves were responsible for Dwayne’s pain. “What I suggested to him was that we do an injection to turn off the affected nerves temporarily and see if that took care of his pain,” Dr. Aguila explains. “If it worked, then theoretically, we could turn those nerves off permanently with surgery by disconnecting them.”


One Trip, Total Relief. The test injection worked. Dwayne’s pain subsided, confirming the diagnosis. Best of all, the team handled everything in one visit. “We were able to take care of everything all in one trip, and he’s doing much better,” said Dr. Aguila. “His pain is gone—no issues whatsoever.” For Dwayne, the experience exceeded expectations. “They answered all my questions, making me feel warm and fuzzy. I didn’t have pain during the procedure, even though I was awake,” he said. “Oh yeah—this is the only solution. Great doctor, too.” Living Pain-Free Again: Dwayne’s story is one of hope and healing. His message is clear for those suffering from nerve pain due to shingles: relief is possible with the proper care. If you're struggling with postherpetic neuralgia, chronic pain, or neuropathy, Dr. Aguila's approach could be the breakthrough you’ve been searching for.
