I have been told I have herpes. I have had lesions and they used to be months apart, but have started to become much more frequent. I have also started to have joint pain. Hip hurts when I sit on the underside not in the joint, feet hurt when I sit for a while and stop hurting soon after walking. When I have a flare up I can usually feel it in my knee first and my skin becomes very sensitive in that leg, usually the left leg. Would the hurting feet and hip and lower back pain be from herpes? I am very active, gym five nights a week, weights, cardio, and I run about twice a week about three miles at a time. Just had blood work and a physical a couple weeks ago and everything looks good. In the last year my pain is almost constant at some point or another and I seem to have a lot more issues with strained tendons (elbows).
