Greetings
I was recently diagnosed with Gonorrhea, by urine PCR, and also did all the other STD tests and all came back negative.
I have no idea for how long I had it, and I complained to the doctor that I was having diffuse articular pain, not too intense, but it was there sometimes on the knees, other times on fingers or ankles, also I am feeling left chest pain sometimes. No skin lesions. I told the doctor that I was afraid of DGI, disseminated gonorrhoea, and he told me that DGI symptoms are much more evident and I should not worry, also blood testing were not compatible with systemic infection.
So I took Cefixime with Azithromycin and 20 days later I repeated the urine PCR and came back negative.
My fear now is that the AB therapy was enough to treat the urologic infection but may still have DGI as the treatment is not enough in case of DGI and the symptoms prevail.
Can someone advise me?
