Symptoms of Herpes - Leg Pain?

 

I need to better understand what are the symptoms of herpes as about two-three weeks ago I got Herpes. Still waiting on blood results, but i have a bad feeling. Do I need to see a Certified Nursing Assistant for this?  I have absolutely no signs of it on my penis, I had pretty bad flu symptoms, a rash on my thigh, Pains in my legs and a general soreness of my penis i have never ever had before in my life, not itching, just sharp pain. All that's subsided now. Felt like it was just the virus wreaking havoc :-I Anyone else out there had symptoms like this ? Mainly the leg pain, my Doctor said that's definitively not a symptom of herpes, and kinda laughed it off.

Herpes antibodies are

Herpes antibodies are different when the body is fighting off the virus assuming that you even actually have it. Go to the doctor, have it looked at, he/she will let you know if you should be worried.

Sounds like it could be

Sounds like it could be herpes. The pain that you're describing is one of the symptoms due to the fact that the herpes virus resides in the nerves. Go to the doctor to get a swab or culture done and if the doctor is certain that it's herpes he/she will get you on an antiviral while still awaiting test results.

The herpes select is the most

The herpes select is the most common blood testing for herpes. It's accurate to the point that if you have and the body is fighting the virus it will show. If you don't have the virus or the body isn't producing the antibodies a herpes blood test would show negative. If you have sores the best thing to do is get a culture. If you don't they'll test and if it comes back negative they'll have you wait 3-6 months and come back for a retest.
