Sixteen years ago, I contracted HSV-2 after an unprotected sexual encounter. Since that infection, I've been experiencing a symptom I had never had before: intermittent neuralgia in my lower limbs.

The pain affects my thighs, calves, and ankles. It's sharp and intense, localized to specific spots, and the skin in those areas becomes so hypersensitive that even a light touch is painful. Each episode lasts anywhere from 2 to 10 days, and it recurs roughly once a month. It has been causing me significant suffering for years.

I strongly suspect these attacks are related to the HSV-2 infection — possibly some form of post-herpetic or viral neuralgia — though I'd like to hear from others before drawing conclusions.

Has anyone else developed similar symptoms after being infected with HSV-2? I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences, how you've managed it, and whether any treatments have helped.

Thank you.
