Is this normal, having my entire leg in pain ?

Hi... sorry for my english in advance, i'm french.  So that said, i have been diagnostiquated herpes type 1 on my genitals, and now it got to my anus. It's been a few days now, i though it wasn't that but the ''vesicule' finaly broke yesterday, and i knew what it was. I started taking med last night, but there is something weird about my symptoms.
My entire leg hurts. It started to my butt, like muscle pain. I know that your butt can hurt when you have an erruption. But ... few days ago i noticed that my feet too was hurting (same side as my butt), and i just figured that it must been my new shoes. But... it's not the pain from new shoes and now it won't go away. And now in my tibia there's the same pain... and now my thigh too. ALL the same side at once.
As this happened to anyone ?
Thanks.

I really dont think your symptoms are herpes connected. If its a new infection often time when there are symptoms it would include fever and body aches. If its a recurrent infection the symptoms would be more of a tingling and would not usually last more than a week before a lesion appears.

I heard about valtrex too... but my outbreak comes every 2 months approximatly... i'll ask the pharmaceutic for more information :).

Oh ok, i was wondering if anything was wrong ahha, first time that my entire leg hurt so bad, even my foot ! It's weird... thanks :)

Yes... leg pain is definitely part of this thing. I take daily Valtrex and it seems to work wonders for me. No outbreak in 3 months. No pain, no anything, But yes, leg pain was bad for me in the beginning.
