28.female in total shock.....and excruciating pain

Posted , 3 users are following.

So I'm new to this site, don't know how this works, but in desperate need of some answers, support. And advice. I recently took a 10 Mo break from my boyfriend of over 3 years. I had one partner during this break he had 3. We have sex a few weeks ago and I end up getting a rash almost like diaper rash. Cracks the skin down there (anal) I'm in so much pain finally go to e.r. they told me I had torn my skin during anal sex gave me some pain killers and some cream and sent me on my way. Two days later go to regular MD and he takes one look and instantly tells me I have herpes. Ummm I had one partner and got tested right before I got back with my ex and h was protected every time. I get the official result tomorrow.

I'm in the most excruciating pain I've ever felt in my life. Try having a baby and finding it by 50 (literally) I've tried baths, creams, pain killers, stool softeners. I almost passed out when passing a bowel movement and needed my boyfriend's help. This is so embarrassing. Wondering if I got it from him or if I've had it for years and never had an out is that even possible? This pain is UNbarable. Feels like someone is taking a razor blade and going back and fourth around my anus and genital area. I'm in so much pain I'm light headed and haven't Move out of bed but to use the restroom in 9 days now. My dr put me on acyclovir 800mg x 5 times a day and gave me some zofirax? It's an ointments I read ur only supposed to use on the mouth sores not on genitals. Please I hope someone reads this and hears me. On top of that I haven't been able to move let alone work. I am a very attractive young woman who's career is based off my looks and I'm extremely scared. Any advice will help. Thanks

    I'm sorry you're in pain. Easy to say hard to do but try to lessen your level of stress...deep breaths, warm sitz baths, a lot of rest and I can't stress this enough...plenty of water ( it dilutes your urine and lessens the burning). Now it is possible that you've had it but it is also possible and very likely that your bf had it and didn't know and transmitted to you. Were you (the sores) swabbed ? Did they perform a blood test?

      Hey Hun thanks for replying. He may have gotten it receiving oral from one of the girls he had a fling with while we were on our "break" the pain is horrific but it's so strange when I was in the er three different drs looked at me and not one said gh. Then I go for a follow up and it just pops up??? He did NOT do blood but did swab. They don't look like gh from the pix I've seen they seem like fever blisters possibly an infection? I get the results back later today. Does a ghost outbreak on a woman feel like tiny razors or paper cuts but intense pain? Not sure what this is but I hurts like hell and I've literally been in tears over a week now and they don't seem to be getting better and have not popped yet? My other ones around anus never had anything in them just looked like a rash with a few white fever blisters maybe caused from diaper rash is this what they are like?

      Yes he could've and I'm glad they swabbed hopefully they did a type specific swab so they can tell you if it is positive which one it is. Also important is to get the blood testing (antibody type specific igg) to narrow down timeframe...if the swab test were to be positive but the blood test is negative it would suggest a recent infection. If the swab were positive and blood test positive as well it would suggest you've had it for a few months to even years. Symptoms vary from person to person and unfortunately or I guess fortunately for the individuals, many are asymptomatic (no symptoms or very mild symptoms often visually diagnosed as other common illnesses) fissures are very common with hsv and in fact that's how I knew something was wrong, it felt like cuts that would cause so much pain as if someone ripped my skin apart down there. I do hope your testing is negative but know that if it isn't it will get better. The first is typically the worst!!

      Any results yet sweetie? Hoping for the best for u. But if it does come uo positive its not the end of the world. It sucks to have this virus but luckily it wont hurt your health. I do definitely suggest seeing if ur dr will put u on a daily maintance dose of valtrex. I found t in august that i have hsv2. Now on daily does and havent had any issues.. let us knkw!

      No unfortunately. Their office is closed in weekends and didn't get them by the time they closed yesterday. Now I have to wait till Monday. 😫 Everything pretty much cleared Up other than soreness and the butt area is still sore. It doesn't look like the pictures I've seen. Guess we just have to wait for the results. Thanks for the support sweetie I appreciate it. 😊
