Leg Pains? - Herpes Message Board

Ever since thursday, when I met with my doctor and he told me I had it because of IGM blood test, I've been having sensations in my legs.

I don't think they're in my head, but I can't explain them.

1) What do leg pains associated with herpes usually feel like?
2) Are they constant or tend to wax and wane?
3) Do they go away when you get up and walk?
4) Do they go away when you fall asleep?

My sensations are as follows, about halfway down both legs, on the back, there is a spot where I feel like a soreness or almost like a light pinch. Like I sat on something too long. The sensation is there only when I am awake and sitting down.

Also, sometimes I feel as though my calves are tired, but it goes away when I get up.

Does this sound like Herpes?

My leg aches feel like sensitive nerves or skin, and sometimes last for a few days. They tend to be there always when they're there. But I've heard others say they feel it differently.

You could do a search for "leg aches" or legs tingling" with the search button in the upper right corner of each page (not the one at the bottom of each post.) As I remember, we had quite a discussion on leg pains a month or so ago.
