A member asked:
Can having the hsv2 virus cause chronic burning sensation on butt cheeks thighs & legs for months with no ob ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nope: You can find all kinds of statements about symptoms supposedly caused by herpes, including chronic burning, tingling, leg or back pains, etc -- but mostly these are claims by anxious persons who have no other explanation for their symptoms. Herpes simply does not do this. The only burning, tingling etc that it causes are for 1-2 days before an OB, usually in the area of the OB (i.e. the prodrome).
