Unexplained back pain
Hi. I had protected sex with an escort ( I was wearing a condom). It was very brief (less than 3 mins) until I realized by mistake and pulled back. Till now (9 days after exposure) I show no signs or symptoms of herpes at all.
I the had unprotected sex with my wife and 4 days later, my wife started experiencing sever lower back pain. It was CONSTANT and seemed to be nerve related. It was shooting down her leg to the mostly on the left side. sometimes she would feel more intense shooting pain on the right side, however this was temporary and caused by some movements. There was no muscle aches or tenderness.
Till now, there has been NO itchiness, no sores or Rashes with my wife either. I have asked her. We have been to multiple doctors, and they have done x-rays and MRI scans of the lower back and pelvis. Nothing showed up. It seems her back is normal. All are concluding that it is nerve related.. But cannot find why is causing it.
No spine lesions or growths.
Could this be herpes related? My guilt and anxiety is driving me insane.
If it is herpes, how long before other symptoms show???

Hi Grace..
The logical part of my brain is saying that you are right.. And I really Want to believe it. I wish there is a cure of this anxiety.
My wife is immobilized complettly for the most part! It's hard to watch, and caring for her is a reminder of how much we need each other.
All these coincidental symptom like events are a huge wake up call.
I will keep you all posted with the happy ending (I hope).

Hi... Just make this worst.. And now I'm realy freaking out.
My 18 month old, woke up with a lesion like red sore on the side of her nose!!!!!
It appeared overnight!
It doesn't look like an insect bite (ellongated not round) and by midday it sarted looking more like a very small open wound.
My wife's back pain is as bad as it was in day one.
Is it possible at all that this a hsv virus.
Realy need help here... I just want a way to find out NOW...

Thanks grace.
Just can't explain why she has this back pain. Specials today found nothing obvious. No spinal lesions or inflammation.
I privately asked him if this could be herpes related, and he said it is a possibility, although remote.
I should point out that I got my Igm and Igg tests back.. And both are negative. No other Std either. Don't know how accurate that is as I git the blood test done last week, only 5 days after posdible exposure.

no reason to think that herpes is causing her back pain. Just back pain and no obvious lesions at this point in her symptoms wouldn't be herpes related. also the odds that you contracted genital herpes yourself, had no signs and transmitted it are incredibly low too. It was a one time protected encounter, not a real big risk for any std's. don't confuse guilt with risk!
