leg pain herpes

We get many questions about the association of pain in relationship to possible herpes. While herpes does occasionally cause pain at the location where outbreaks occur in the absence of lesions, for it to cause pain of the sort you describe is unheard of. The varicella zoster virus (the member of the herpes virus family that causes chicken pox) can cause nerve pain; it does no only on one side however.

t herpes however herpes effects the nervous system. Your leg pain could be related to this. Not everyone has the same symptons.

None of this would be caused by herpes. Herpes wouldn't give you spots on your arms, cause arm pain, or weight loss (if only). While herpes can give you leg pains, it wouldn't coincide with arm pains, dizziness, worsening muscle pain with exertion, etc. Clearly you have something going on, and it doesn't sound STD-related. I'd ask for an MRI of your back, and if that's ok, see a neurologist.

Hi! I went to the doctor Monday, we are still waiting on the results from the culture he did but he is pretty positive I have genital herpes. I'm having some pretty weird leg pain it pretty much feels like my legs are sunburned my skin all over my legs is very tender. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it related to gh?

Is this consistent with the nerve pain that is associated with genital herpes? Is it common to experience nerve pain without an actual outbreak? I still haven't seen any blisters so I am not as worried about herpes but will be getting a blood test at 12 weeks. Thanks again for all your help.

Im having leg pain, not a pain as such more of a shooting sensation, did you recieve unprotected oral sex at all? Mine was my first ever sexual encounter with a girl...

Did stretching help your leg pain?

m concerned that this leg pain may be an early symptom that I do not want to underestimate. Would leg pain be seen with other symptoms such as fever and swollen lymph nodes. And would the itching be intense on the genitals?

I have a family history of MS, I have a recnet herpes infection this Dec(HSV1) and 2 weeks later I have burning, numbness in both legs that I had no relief from pain meds, my pain NEVER subsides for about 10-12 days constant pain. I went to a Neurologist had an MRI because of my family history and I am here to say I have MS in top of the herpes virus! NOT so fun but life will go on. It has to for me I have 2 kids that need me.

I have had herpes for years and only noticed since I have stopped taking birth control that when i get a break out I get this aching pain in my leg. At first is was just in my buttox but now it seems to have spread down to my calf. When I get a break o ut it's only one sore and only last a few days but the pain in my leg before the sore comes is weird. It feels like someone ripped off my skin and all the nerves endings are raw.

Hi, Thank you very much for your question. Post herpetic neuralgia appears at skin after the outbreak of shingles (herpes). It starts when herpes crusted over and in fact it may even appear after absence of herpes virus. It will be best that you consult a neurologist and treatment options could be anticonvulsants such as gabapentin, antideprassants and topical lidocaine lotion.

For about 5 months now I have had terrible leg pain and muscle pain that has not gone away. Really the only way to truly see these pimple looking marks is to look at it with a microscope. I think I might just be over analyzing my penis but am still somewhat worried. None of these pimple like bumps have burst and scabbed and when I rub the penis there is no pain. I do masturbate quite often and have used bath towels and are dirty.

Recently I have developed some lower back and leg pain. I guess the leg pain could best be described as a weak spasm of some sort, or a weak jabbing pain; it is in both legs, in the thighs (both front and back), butt area, even the ankles. I also notice that my scrotum tingles every now and again, for only a few seconds... I'm really concerned about herpes, I've been looking at my genitals 2 or 3 times a day looking for anything out of the ordinary...

There is no doubt in my mind that the pain is a result of the herpes. The pain I have is in my buttocks, down the back of my thigh, my lower leg and even in my ankle. I don't know what to do. I have never consulted a health professional regarding the pain, I am discouraged because when I see others with the same problem in blogs, all the doctors that post usually turn them away from the possibility of the herpes causing neurological problems.

it's been about 9 months of having constant pain in my left leg/buttocks. On January 11, 2013 I had a sexual encounter with a strange women when I was intoxicated this woman could of been a prostitute I can not really remember that night. In May of 2013 I started to have headaches and fatigue for unknown reasons. In the beginning June I had what I think was a herpes out break very small sore but a feeling of burning and needles in the genital area.

Hey there. I had unprotected sex twice (8 weeks ago and 5.5 weeks ago) with two different guys I met at school. We were HIV and syphillis tested before could fly here so I wasnt thinking about other stds stupidly. I was diagnosed with chlamydia a few weeks ago and took the antibiotics. I went back last week to have blood drawn for more testing to make sure nothing else is going on. The HIV and syphillis came back negative but I have to wait two weeks for the herpes blood tests.

Do you think a high level of unexplained leg pain after a sexual encounter is an indicator of herpes? I say this because it seems to be the only std that could cause such.

I have typical herpes leg pain though in the left leg and burning sensation in leg and sometime in hip and thigh similar to what i've read people with hsv experienced.

i think it may be prostatitis, but i am not sure. just wanted to know what leg pain caused by herpes was all about. it will be two months next week, and i plan on getting checked out again. last two months have been hell. i am trying to stay as calm as i can, but it is tough. ......on another question, would 8-9 weeks still not be definitive answer on a herpes test (IgG and Herpes select test) thanks for your help.
