Hey People!
Just curious about something... My lower back has been hurting (feels like i've been sitting in a car for a long time) on and off over the course of the last 4 weeks. This has been accompanied by a little bit of occasional pain (like a dull soreness) around my hip on both sides (where the hip flexor would be).
I have not been diagnosed with HSV 2, and have no visible symptoms of any sort of outbreak. I did have a one night stand with two girls (one of which I think had HSV2, three months ago. and the other 5-6 weeks ago). Both times where protected.
After the last encounter, I freaked out kinda and couldn't stop thinking that I caught HSV2. This is when the back pain first started. The pain went away after about 2 weeks, and now is back again, along with the hip aches.
The pain in my back usually goes away when I lay down, so I'm not sure what to make of it.
Does this sound like the type of back pain that people with HSV2 have? and if not, what does HSV2 induced back pain feel like? (sharp, dull, etc)?
Also, is back pain ever the only symptom?
Thank you!
There is no reason to suspect a genital herpes infection and with a one off protected encounter, testing is not required.
