Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

I am very sorry to hear all this sort of health problems at this age.

As you said, the cause for the shoulder and hip joint problems is avascular necrosis caused by the prolonged use of the steroids.

The nodule in thyroid and a cyst in the kidney are not resulted from the infection of your boyfriend's Herpes infection.

Herpes is usually associated with infection of mucocutaneous infections like vesicles, skin vesicles, neuralgia, blisters on lips, and brain infection (encephalitis).

Herpes is not associated with the causation of thyroid nodules and kidney cysts.

Hope I have answered your query, if you have any clarification please let me know.

Regards.
