Have you been tested for HSV2? Thats what is sounds like to me. I have hsv2 and I occasionally have a stinging sensation in my tailbone for a few seconds. I have recently tested positive for HSV2 and In the first few months after my initial ob, I would have the crawling sensation between my legs at night. It seemed like most nights at first, but the frequency is less now. I have experienced very intense tingling a few times. This week I have been experiencing a burning sensation for a few seconds at my tailbone. It comes and quickly passes.
I have to tell those of you that are worried about having this virus. It is initially a devastating diagnoses. I am an attractive, outgoing person, with a generally great life. Having a life-time STD is something I never thought would happen to me. I have done a lot of reading to wrap my head around it. I suspect who I may have gotten it from, but it is near impossible to be sure. For me, the worst part is having to worry about infecting someone else. I only had 2 outbreaks and they were very mild. The crawling sensation is strange as hell, but once you know that it is just a common symptom it just becomes something that you live with. I can totally understand how people have this virus and don't know they have it. Before I was diagnosed, I kept a general journal of my health, aches and pains, stress level, sexual actiivity. I recommend that everyone do this. What sometimes seems meaningless, helps you connect dots later.

Hi grace I am a 50 yr old male and I posted elsewhere on this site, however I would like you to review my concerns. I have come to value your oinion from being on this site.
I had an outbreak that was very mild 8 months ago June 2012. I had tingling redness a few bumps on my scrotum and shaft, itching and pure panic. Soon after i also had my first lip cold sore. I believe i got it in boh places. The visible genital symptoms lasted a couple of days, and by the time i saw my urologist (history of prostatitis), he refused to diagnose GH. I went to lab-corp twice in 3 months, and it shows I have HV-1 and it has been there for a while no IGM just type 1 IGG captia test. I went back to him with results, and he still refused to buy it. Saying he has never seen Genital HSV1 and the great majority of people have hsv1 go see a neurologist for the sacral pain. I have since seen a spine surgeon, a neurologist, and now a pain management doctor just had sacroiliac injections no help. My symptoms are burning coccyx pain, buttock pain and paresthesia on both sides of my glutes. I can't sit for 20 min. without being in constant pain, and discomfort. There is some bulging of lumbar disks L3-4 and L4-5 but nothing that would cause major problems. I am sure this is herpetic, and really don't know how to handle this I have not pressed my concern with the pain management doctor. I told his resident doc. that does his prep visit of my concern, and she shrugged it off saying i would've have had alot of pain if it were GH. Constant tail bone pain numbness in my seat, and gluteal pain, nerve crawling sensation in my glutes through anus etc. I am desperate for help. Can you suggest my next course of action?
have you ever been tested for herpes before?
have you seen your doctor/neurologist at all for your pain?
