Gaotu, what did the pain feel like? Was it a dull ache? Throbbing? Shooting? I'm trying to understand what I'm feeling right now. My legs and hips have been hitting for about 3 weeks (particularly the right side). It feels like a dull ache that will shift to different parts of my leg. Sometimes it's the hip, then it'll move to the knee, then the thigh, occasionally the calf and/or ankle.

Thank you! This has helped A LOT!

I should also mention the blood test was taken in September, about 2.5 months before any symptoms showed up. I keep getting told by both the Urologist and the local std clinic staff that my symptoms aren't herpes related and that something else is going on, but I'm not sure. Could it still be herpes even if antibiotics help?

Hi there, So long story, I have HSV Type 1 oral. I've gotten cold sores on my lips my whole life. Or so I have been told. Now I'm not so sure. I recently dated a woman who was type 1 genital positive. We only had sex a handful of times and the first few times we didn't use protection. She takes Valtrex daily. I'm curious if I could have still gotten HSV 1 genital from her. For the last 2 months I've been getting pain while urinating, and pain in my penis in very specific spots. It started with just the pain in my penis, but there has been a definite progression to it. Occassionally I'll get a tingling on the tip of my penis before or after urination. The pain is never constant and there is no pattern to the pain. Eventually the pain spread to my testes, pelvic region, lower back, and middle back. About 3 weeks ago I began having aching pains in my hips, thighs, and knees. I haven't had any sores of any kind. I've been blood tested and low and behold, positive type 1, negative type 2. Saw a urologist who tested me for Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and UTI. All negative. Started me on antibiotics, azithromycin and doxycycline. Symptoms subsided significantly then rebounded once the azithromycin wore off. My symptoms are going away but I'm very paranoid. Those of you that had the pain in your hips, thighs, etc. How did it feel? I appreciate any advice.
