A member asked:

I have hsv 2 and am having stabbing pain in my labia, left buttock, down the back of my leg and into my ankle. never had pain like this before. cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Herpes simplex: It would be very unusual to have nerve involvement of the type you are describing due to hsv 2. This sounds as if you have some other issue involving the sacral spine at s1-s2 which would cover the dermatomes you are describing. It is conceivable that this is the focus of infection with herpes, but rather uncommon. Suggest seeing a neurologist.
