I have idiopathic perioheral neuropathy in my feet and sacral region which is constant. i also have hsv1 but not in my genital region. i've had it since i was kid and get on average an outbreak per year on my lips. can my neuripathy be due to hsv1?

Not likely: HSV 1 i.e. herpes labialis or cold sores, is extremely common and rarely causes any significant complications like neuritis. If you havent had any workup done for your neuritis, you should get a referral to Neurologist, who can do imaging study with MRI of brain and spine to detect any nerve compression to be the cause of your neuritis. In most cases, physical therapy can improve symptoms.!

Unlikely: It's more likely this is due to another cause and not the herpes Symplex virus

HSV infection: HSV infection most commonly presents with skin eruptions of different nature. even though it can cause autonomic neuropathy and encephalitis. transverse myelitis which is not very well documented could cause neuropathy like symptoms. You would have had an acute illness with transverse myelitis usually with some motor symptoms like weakness with it, you short history does not reveal it.
