I Am Having Herpes Zorster With Painful And Burning Sensation In My Legs

Painful, burning sensation, spasm, jumping legs, dark marks in the arches of both feet My name is Andre, I have burning, tingling sensations with pins and needles under both feet. My legs jump night and day, stopping me from sleeping, sitting still without a spasm every 0ne or two minutes. I observed dark marks on the soles of both feet; and to be precise under the arches of both feet; and a single of red line following nerve pathway going up my legs. I have Herpes Zorster , just diagnosed on Monday; and is there a connection? thanks for listening Andre, aged 68 yr old, still working as a health professional . What have I got and what the best way to deal with it? Andre

Dear Ander,thanks for the query.You have not mention the site of herpes zoster,if it in legs yes this can be due to herpes it self.Herpes is condition in which viral infection of nerves is there,this leads to irritation and the symptoms that you have.The only treatment is treatment of herpes with anti viral drugs.If you do not have herpes in legs the reason for this could vitamin deficiency like b complex and vit E.You need to take tablets for the same.bye and take care.
