HSV 2 and Sensitive nerve endings

[lehmanson]

I'm a  male and was diagnosed with HSV2 in June and had an inital outbreak that lasted 5 weeks and 1 week ago had a second outbreak. Since the first outbreak I've been experiencing severe sensitivity in my buttocks, upper legs, and pubic area and cannot stay seated for more than and hour.  Couple questions: is this common? is this permanent nerve damage due to the virus? or am I continually experiencing an internal outbreak with no external signs?

Thank you!

i am also interested in knowing about potential nerve damage or long term nerve effects.  i had a doctor recommend lyrica for the neuropathic pains.  i don't want to have to take hardcore neurological drugs all my life
