Question 1

does  genetia  herpes  cause  testicule  pain   and  nerve  pain?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: Herpes causes pain where the rash breaks out, because that is where the nerve endings containing the viruses are. If there is testicle pain, a primary care doctor or a urologist can evaluate for other types of infections, and also for testicular torsion (if the pain is bad). The doctors check for cancer, too.

Question 2

what is the relationship between oral herpes and genital herpes with nerve pain? i have had both for 3 years and i currently suffer from nerve pain in the feet and palms. what is the relationship and is it a cause of this?

Accepted Answer

: Contrary to common beliefs, online information and even some doctors' advice, herpes does not cause ongoing nerve pain. Genital or oral herpes can cause nerve symptoms like tingling or numbness near a skin outbreak, but herpes is not a likely cause of neuropathy (nerve pain) in hands and feet. Common causes include diabetes, alcohol, and nutrition problems. See a neurologist. Good luck.

Question 3

what is the normal pattern of recovery from herpes zoster nerve pain, intermittent or a constant rate of improvement?.

Accepted Answer

Variable: Recovery from something like this can demonstrate significant variability, but in general, it's usually slow and steady over the course of several months with "good days and bad days".

Question 4

if herpes can cause vestibular neuritis. is it possible it could spread throughout the nerves causing things like trigeminal neuralgia?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: H simplex type-1 typically causes infections of oral mucosa &amp;establishes a lifelong persistence in sensory ganglia . Persistence and latency have been demonstrated in human trigeminal, facial, and vestibular ganglia. The reactivation of virus in ganglia generally causes cranial nerve disorders such as herpes labialis, Bell’s palsy, and vestibular Neuritis. No evidence of  trigeminal neuralgia.

Question 5

what could cause general lymphedemapathy x 8yrs on and off and peripheral neuropathy. the sx come and go.  neg for hiv, herpes. screened for cancers.

Accepted Answer

Collaboration: This is a puzzling and longstanding disorder and I recommend collaboration among an infectious disease specialist,hematologist and a neurologist. The latter is experienced in cases and causes of peripheral neuropathy.

Question 6

which other std can cause itchy, scaly red patches on neck & peripheral neuropathy? neg for hiv, hep b/c, herpes, vdrl upto 6 months after exposure.

Accepted Answer

No STD: No STD causes these symptoms. You have no infection from any sexual exposure.

Question 7

could herpes cause peripheral neuropathy hands/feet, rt upper arm feels squeezed, burning in lower back and back of head? neuro and rheum eval normal.

Accepted Answer

Not herpes: Herpes infections never cause these kinds of symptoms, and do not cause generalized peripheral neuropathy. You'll need to look for a different cause. Discuss with your doctor.

Question 8

i suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and i take hydroxychloroquine and i have neuralgia and burning in the bottom of the foot. i previously had oral herpes for two years. does hydroxychloroquine treatment cause nerve pain to reactivate or cause?

Accepted Answer

: Contrary to popular beliefs (from inaccurate online statements) herpes infections do not cause neuropathy. And certainly oral herpes cannot have anything to do with neuralgia of the feet, with or without hydroxychloroquine or any other drug treatment. Your doctor(s) undoubtedly would agree these are entirely separate problems.

Question 9

what can cause nerve pain in the ruq ?

Accepted Answer

Ruq: You may have gallbladder disease. Check with your doctor.

Question 10

can accupunture cause nerve pain i had a session yesterday but only feel it today.

Accepted Answer

Anything is possible: Acupuncture shouldn't cause nerve pain, at least not if performed by trained &amp; experienced practitioners. Check in w/your acupuncturist and Family Doc. If pain persists, you may need EMG/NCV testing &amp; more.
