Question 1

can herpes lead to back and spine pain?

Accepted Answer

Herpes pain: Yes, especially if lesions are on the back or buttocks.

Question 2

i had protected sex with woman with hsv2 5 week ago. i have lower back pain and itch on butt.been feeling it 4 a few weeks. is this a sign of herpes?

Accepted Answer

Low risk, no worries: Herpes doesn't cause low back pain or "itch on butt". The chance of HSV2 from one episode of unprotected vaginal sex with infected partner is around 1 in a thousand. With condom protection, it's still lower. Don't worry about this. Also look at it this way:  If you've had sex with say 20 different women, you can assume 3-10 of them had HSV2. The one partner you knew about isn't any more risky.

Question 3

had protectedsex wit a lady who has herp 5week ago only symptoms are low bac pain and itchy but for a week. is lower back pain a true sign of herpes?

Accepted Answer

Can be  if you have: Can be if you have  a herpes  rash on your  back. If no rash unlikely this is from the herpes. See you physician for confirmation.

Question 4

herpes 1 whole life( cold sores), recent horrible low back pain, xrays normal, hives during same time,(4 months), could herpes flare up be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Herpes type I ?: Herpes types I and II are usually self limited ulcers which are painful but do not generally cause "horrible back pain".  Shingles, however, which comes from Herpes Simplex (latent "chicken pox") can cause very painful skin lesions and lower back pain. See your physician for testing to be certain.

Question 5

how long does tingling happen before first outbreak of herpes. i get itching neck pain lower back pain now tingling for over 4 days now?

Accepted Answer

This isn&#x27;t herpes: For initial herpes, usually no tingling before sores appear. Tingling is mainly a symptom of recurrent herpes; in that case, it lasts only a day or two before the outbreak itself shows up. Your symptoms don&#x27;t sound at all like herpes, which doesn&#x27;t cause tingling without sores and rarely if ever causes low back pain. So good news, this isn&#x27;t herpes. See your doctor if symptoms continue. Good luck!

Question 6

are dull lower back pain lower back pain and itchy buttock a sign of herpes?also a tingle up to my neck. like its on spine the exposure was6 weeks ago

Accepted Answer

Herpes: This does not sound like herpes, and a blood test for HSV 1 and 2 IgM and IgG can help clarify that. Herpes can occur in the skin of the lower back, usually as a cluster of inflamed vesicles which scab over then heal.

Question 7

can getting a cold sore under noes cause lower back pain fever and other sick symptoms or is that only herpes 2?

Accepted Answer

No: Cold sore, or oral herpes, will not cause low back pain.  Initial infection with herpes can cause fevers, but back pain and fevers are more likely to be due to something else.

Question 8

swollen nodes in groin, itchiness and tingly feelings in vagina area, and low back pain. could this be herpes? no visible break outs. 5 mths last sex

Accepted Answer

Look for lesion: In area of itching.Particularly if itching  occurs in same site.

Question 9

why is my tongue white with a sore (lesion) to side with what appears to be white hairy stuff growing around it. pos ebv, pos herpes, pos hep a, neg 4 gen hiv test & pcr rna after 11 months exposure. body aches all over. back pain. hiv-2 possible?

Accepted Answer

: For complete evaluation I recommend consulting both an oral surgeon and a specialist in infectious disease. I think your description matches a condition called oral hairy leukoplakia which is triggered by EBV or HIV(although your hiv testing is encouraging) Let the specialists give you the best advice. You may not need any specific treatment, only symptomatic treatment.

Question 10

hiv symptoms from 11 months unprotected vaginal exposure with a hiv+ woman. ebv pos, herpes pos, hep a, oral thrust, body ache, back pain, skin changes, itching bumps, fingernails changes,dry skin, peeling skin. 29 neg 4 gen hiv test. hiv2 possible?

Accepted Answer

: Specific tests for HIV 2 antibody and nucleic acid are available and your doctor can order that to settle the question.
Wish you good health!
