What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Leg When Diagnosed With HSV-1?
Question: Hello,
I'm a 34 yr old female. 5'2" 190 lbs. I have been having a lot of strange symptoms. I've been having this odd tingling/pain/sensitivity in my upper front right leg. it seems like it's a nerve if I press on the nerve it seems to be worse. this tingling and sensitivity also happens in the vaginal area as well. then sometimes when I run my head left to right the sensitivity/tingling/pain will intensify and it's like it's shooting through my body. also back in 2001 I was diagnosed with hsv1 but only had one outbreak and never again.. what could this be?

Nerve Hypersensitivity
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for asking a question.
I'm Dr Chaithanya attending you
This can happen due to Nerve stimulation, hypersensitivity to nerves, can be triggered by stress in some patients.
Have you been using any drugs for it?
Antidepressants work very well in such cases.
A minor doses, like Gabapentin, at single tablet a day works very well.
It is not for depression, I'm suggesting you. These are useful for nerve disorder, usually non specific nerve pains.
This is a prescription drug and your family doc or neurologist will suggest you.
Hope this helps
