I was in the hospitl with severe back and leg pain (sciatic nerve and bulging disc). After ten days of being in the hospital I got what they told me  was MRSA along with herpes zoster on my right buttock cheek I have had cold sores as a kid, but I have never had genital herpes before. After they were able to do surgery my leg started to bother me again well i got it again in the exact same spot on my right butt cheek. I had my doctor do a blood test to see what I had and it came back positive for both hsv 1 and 2. How does this happen. I have only been with my husband.
