Sudden soreness of tailbone- relation to herpes?
Hi, I am a female and recently had sex for the first time in August, anal, vaginal and oral. I didn't use a condom, stupid i know. There was no semen and I wasn't wet. I got tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea which were both negative. Now, 5 months later, about a few days ago I developed this pain in my tailbone and lower back. When I thought i had chlamydia, I had soreness in my abdominals and lower back but went away after i found out i wasnt positive for the std. (Sounds weird I know). Anyways, I have no sores or any external signs of herpes but I was researching online and saw that people sometimes have no symptoms so I'm freaking out. Can this back pain be caused from an infection I obtained 5 months ago? Or am I being paranoid? I will get tested as soon as I can. It's hard because I do not want my mother to know. The help is mostly appreciated. Thank you.
Yes i know that my parents wont know..im going to my regular physician tomorrow so im going to tell her everything. I have birth control and i have had the gardasil vaccine, when i was 12. im 19. and all of this paranoia makes me hate the idea of sex. ill do it when im ready, with protection! thank you for your input
your gyn can do all the testing you need to properly cover your bases from your sexual experience. if you haven't already, discuss birth control too.
if you are over 14 and in the US, you have a right to complete medical privacy. Even if you are in your parents insurance, they legally have no right to even know that you were seen at a doctor's office. Give the insurance company a call and talk to someone about how you can maintain your medical privacy if you are sexually active and uncomfortable with your parents knowing that you are.
just lower back pain with some tailbone pain at this point probably is unrelated to your sexual encounter. Be seen by your regular provider for a full exam to find out what is going on.
protect yourself in the future! if your clothing is off, a condom should be on your partner!!! Don't have unprotected sexual contact so that you can save yourself testing frequently as well as protect yourself. have you had your gardasil shot series yet?

No, I only got tested for the chlamydia and gonorrhea from my gynecologist who just swabbed me. I haven't done any blood tests yet because I don't know where to go. Thank you for your response.
Not likely. You might experience lower back pain as a prodome (before getting symptoms) but you would have symptoms by now. Odds are this is just a plain simple lower back pain, as most of us have from time to time.
Did your STD screening covered herpes testing? Double check that, because it's usually not included.
