chronic back pain and right cheek swelling and right eye pain...
i am a 43 year old woman. it all started with herpes in the right side of the thigh which got better in 15 days. Since 4 months i have had back pain on the lower left side. i also have blurr vision in my right eye vision with a sensation of a particle in the eye and fever with body pain. along with this my right cheek had been swollen with light right side ear pain. i have had 2 antibiotic courses (clasid exel, suprax 400). after each course the fever vanishes but the back pain persists. fever and eye symtoms return in a weeks time.in short i have had chronic back pain and cheek swelling since 4 months. also since 15 days i have right leg heel pain.
can anyone throw light on what is wrong and how can i cure it?
Because of the persistent fevers and body pain, infection seems to be the most likely cause of your ailment. The herpes virus can be difficult to treat, especially if you have a weak immune system. Opportunistic bacterial infections can also co-exist with viral infections. You should see an infectious disease specialist to help you get the bottom of this ongoing problem. Identifying the bug can be the key to finding the right treatment.
Please watch for my upcoming article about post herpatic neuralgia (PHN), a chronic pain condition that occurs after an outbreak of shingles.
