I would like to know if anyone experiences pain in the body such as pain in the base of the brain, upper/lower back, legs, and groin area? I have experienced pain in these areas and I realize that I did not experience this type of pain until I contracted hsv2. I have also noticed that my lesions or sores are pretty much non-existent, however, the body ache/pain is there. Does anyone experience this as an outbreak instead of the lesions or sores and if so, how do you deal with it or relieve the pain?

Not with all outbreaks, but yes...definitely some. My HSV2 outbreaks usually occur on my right side, so a few days before an "episode" I'll sometimes feels a hypersensitivity to my skin (legs and butt mostly), then, a dull ache like a muscle cramp from my inner right thigh down to my toes. I can really feel it if I'm stretching on the floor.

Then, a day or two later, the tingling will starts. Typically the blisters erupt a few hours later, but the outbreak is usually finished and crusted over by day four.

Why do you think this happens? I hurt all over also and I feel like I am 100 years old. I do stretch and take hot baths/showers and it does help, but the pains just eventually come back. Do you know of anything that can relieve the pain more permanently? I have gotten to the point where I just live with the pain, but I would love if I could find something to stop it.

well when you have less outbreaks, or non, the virus lives in the base f your back...so it can be a good sign, that the herpes virus is gonna go sleep for a good while.

i just pop lysine and vit c and added olive elaf 2 days ago..so far so good.

the lysine and vit too kaway all signs of outbreaks and irritation, but the tingling and pain remained

olive leaf after 2 days..i have no tingling or pain!

give a read

then give it a try

Hope u feel better soon

I get some horrendous pain in my sciatic nerve. It came on from big time job stressors. It feels like lightening shooting from my lower back down my hamstring and out through my toes. I upped my antivirals and my vitamins and it went away in two days. (a modern miracle to me)

Lysine, B6, Vitamin's c,d,e, bioflavanoids, calcium, magnesium, olive leaf and probiotics everyday. And lots and lots of water.

update to post from 2007

I realized that this a very old / dated post but still decided to respond because there may be other newer members also experiencing this. To answer the question, yes, I get all over bodyaches and sometimes feel a lot stiffer than normal. Right now I'm having upper backaches, shoulder, and stiffneck feeling aches, nothing too bad but it's very aggrevating to say the least. I've noticed that a lot of people on this forum with HSV2 do not experience all-over pain but mostly pain in the lower back and buttocks. I do not have acutal lesions but the back, shoulder, and neckaches are pretty constant. If anyone else is experiencing this, please respond! thanks

herpes pain

Hey,

I just wanted to say that yeah, I get pain... mostly tingling on the back of my upper thighs, so much so that I feel like it is irritated and I have a hard time having pants rubbing against the area. I do not really get outbreaks though, I mean sores or blisters, so in that respect I am lucky. It is rare that I will have any outward signs, and it does make it a little harder to tell when an outbreak really starts.

This is my first outbreak and I have had A LOT of body aches and have had the feeling that I was 100 years old. That sucks. But now I have a sore throat. I have Herpes 2 not Herpes 1 --- but I am wondering if the sore throat - I can see an obvious red sore on the back of my throat - if it is herpes related? Anyone else know? Thanks for the help.

Also --- my boyfriend (we are waiting his test results) does not remember ever having an outbreak --- but his balls itch a lot periodically. Could those have been outbreaks? He has a powerful immune system.

I've heard that sometimes men can mistake an outbreak for jock itch or really bad itching in the genitals. Sore throats are also common with herpes2

I get really bad sharp pains in my groin area, it really freaked me out during the first outbreak before I was diagnosed. It happens almost every time I outbreak, and it seems to be the worst if I am very stressed out. I read that body aches could occur due to the herpes virus. I don't really understand why, though. I guess I need to do more research on that, because it can get really bad sometimes, with sharp pains occurring every few minutes. It is difficult to function normally during those times...

This is very similar to what I get. Buttocks, thigh, back ad leg pains almost constant before my period which is when I believe i get my OBs. I will have a burning feeling inside my vagina but I don't ever see visible sores. The type of sores I have in my mouth are canker like sores so maybe these are internal and I cant see them. The muscle aches are bad, and I recently got my cannabis card to suppress pain. Seems to help for sure

      HSV genital likely?

      By CHT · Posted

      Hello "FeelingLost".... your fears and concerns are understandable but, nothing you've described regarding the sexual encounter would cause you to contract herpes.... further, your symptoms are not herpes related.  Best of all, your doctor is correct, your results don't show any herpes here.  You can relax.... definitely have your GP take a look at things and see what might be causing the symptoms but, again, none of them are typical herpes related.  I wish you the best in terms of talking to your wife about this encounter.... hopefully she will understand and you both can work through this amicably.  We all make mistakes.... be careful not to beat yourself up too hard over this.... you can become so racked with guilt that you start imagining physical symptoms.  Best of luck.... and take care..... come back to the site if you have questions.

      HSV genital likely?

      By FeelingLost75 · Posted

      Hi (I’m really scared and feel really disappointed in myself and worried about my future), I had oral sex with a condom almost 3 weeks ago and a massage parlor. I also received a hand job at the same time prior to putting a condom on, also may have rubbed my penis on her back a little. Did not touch her genitals I don’t recall any sores on her back. After the event she handed me a pice of TP and after I took off the condom I wiped my penis head to clear away the excess ejaculation…this is where I suspect I got infected, she had just gone pee and wiped and maybe touched a sore or something and then I got it on my penis from the tp? Idk. I’m just flailing.   After this I’ve had discomfort on the skin below the head of my penis and 4 bumps for 2 weeks now, the bumps don’t seem to have changed in size. I also had frequent urination for about a week and have had dull pain in my groin on and off. I also have some pins and needles on the sides of my abdomen/trunk that get worse when I go out in the heat or get dehydrated. I’ve had a lot of trouble sleeping, likely due to guilt and shame and worry about the future.   so I got one test done at 10 days from the event (idk know if this can tell me anything… the doctor assured me it was 100% correct and I don’t have herpes. I was not physically examined). I got a full panel std. neg for everything. HSV-1 results: IgG 0.3 / HSV-2 IgG 0.9 hsv-1 IgM = 2.2 hsv-2 IgM = 3.0 (Reference V. Negative: Less than 9.0 Borderline: 9.0 to 11.0 Positive: Greater than 11.0) I have an appointment with my GP on Thursday, hoping he can help. Will likely go to a std testing service tomorrow to see if I can get in an antiviral proactively. Plan to get tested again this week.

      GHSV1 has be going crazy

      By TS4real · Posted

      May 13 ( day I will never forget).. a guy I was dating and I drank way to much and decided to have anal sex. We did use protection however, not enough lube, wasn’t done correctly and it was painful. So bad that I yelled out and fell off the bed. Anyway, oral was also performed on me anal and vaginal. Flash forward to 3-4 days after that. I was in the most intense pain I had ever felt. I went to a gyn she tool one look and said it looks like herpes. She swabbed me . 2 days after that, yes it’s HSV1 . I was still in pain, irritated anal area and vaginal area and It was unbearable.  today, I still have irritation and itchy and when I pass a bowel i’m in pain and the itch is crazy.     When I first was diagnoses the gyn gave me valtrex which I did not take bc I was in so much pain I could not move for 2 days.  Groin lymphs were swollen I had fever , tired etc.  I am wondering if I had taken the valtrex would it have kinda liked stopped the virus in it’s tracks enough to reproduce? Do people see a correlation between no more outbreaks and immediate initial valtrex  use ? I am 43, I never thought this wound happen as I am not a promiscuous person, I hardly date and I always use protection when I do have intercouse , have yearly std tests. I’m just so sad that i’m at this point right now . I’m trying not to get depressed but this is making my body feel miserable. I’m an avid runner and biker and mom of two teens. I feel like my life as I knew is over. I want to feel better already.
