I was worried I did something at a strip club, blacked out drunk.though I'm pretty sure I didn't. It All started about 6 days after the event Event my anxiety was through the roof. I got the thin red lines. In my groin crease as well put lotramin and got that to go away, now I have the pins and needles/stinging in my groin crease.I'm the same way as you if it would go away I wouldn't have anxiety. It's been going on for about 7 weeks for me I've tested negative for all stds except hsv, Dr said before 12 weeks with no lesions or blisters it's pointless. So at 12 weeks I'll get an iGg done although most knowledgeable people on the subject are pretty confident I'll be negative. Hope you get some answers. I've gotten in Lexapro and ativan for the anxiety. And it has seemed to calm down for most of the day until night time. Best of luck hope you find some answers.
Western Blot was negative at 15.5 weeks from exposure. Can't figure out what is causing the pins and needles sensation in the groin, thighs and buttocks. It's definitely real and even though I'm not a doctor I'm confident it's not mental. Had significant urethra pain last night that prevented me from sleeping. Urethra pain seems to go away during the day which is really strange. I'm negative for everything we can think of to test 17 weeks out.
No you do not have any symptom of HSV.
Your testing is negative, what was the result of the WB?
Is vomiting and diarrhea for 6 hours and swollen inguinal glands developing right after a symptom of HSV? This happened about 95 days after exposure. Could that be my body starting to fight the virus?
Ever heard of anyone else have these genital and thigh area pins and needles sensations ending up having an STD from your experience?
I thought about pinched nerve but I don't think that happened during the incident. These symptoms started about 48-72 hours after the event.
No not with HSV. The only herpes virus that could cause nerve damage like you describe is Shingles. but with shingles you would have had an unbearable rash on your back as well.
Pins and needles is a sign of nerve interference and the only possible explanation that i can come up with is that you herneated a disc in your back from the act itself.
Thanks for the quick reply Dave. I want to thank you for all of the work you do on this forum. I'm in a rough place right now as the skin irritation/pins and needles has been going on almost 4 months. It was condom protected the entire time. Do you think there is a remote chance the skin pins and needles sensations in the groin area could be related to HSV? I tested negative at 16 weeks but I've seen others post similar ongoing symptoms when contracting HSV. If I did contract HSV somehow could that end up showing up as pain in the urethra even if the urethra was covered during intercourse? Any idea if I could have caught something else during this experience that isn't caught be normal full panel testing? Did everything at STDExpress too. Hoping this turns into a brainstorm to keep some hope alive. I've seen quite a few doctors and am really stumped.
Hi, since you used a condom any urethra or penis head issues your having would not be related to the affair as nothing could get inside to cause any irritation. The needles and pins sensation on your thighs are most likley caused by the itching and you scratching them. Those sentations suggest topical skin damage.
Since all your testing shows nothing we are left with the possibility that its all psyco samatic.
