I'm probablky going to get negative remarks for this, but you don't want to go the strongest right out of the gate with antibiotics!.
But if your previous course didn't work, then you want to move up to the next level!. (mostly because if you go strongest first, then eventually you will become resistant to the antibiotic)
Can I ask if you were tested for chlamydia!? If so was it positive!? If so, then Penicillin is the drug of choice, the next step being Z-pack or erythromycin!. But with you stating there is a problem in your knee, I would lean towards gonnorhea as the probable cause!. (then the antibiotic of choice is ceftriaxone)
Of course I am not trying to diagnose you over the internet, you need a dr!. to do so after lab tests!. Hope that helpsWww@Answer-Health@Com

I don't want to cause any problems here, but Pen V-K isn't a drug of choice for treatment of Chlamydia!. In fact, there are very few (if any) pathogens left that are susceptible to Pen V-K!. Treatment of choice for Chlamydia is Azithromycin !. Doxycycline may be used as an alternate!. If your region has been shown to exhibit infections with resistant Chlamydia trachomatis, your doc may prescribe levafloxacin!. However, as MK said, if you're having joint pain, my first thought would be to also check for Gonorrhea (Neisseria gonorrhea) and, while the tests for N!. gonorrhea and C!. trachomatis are being run, treat presumptively!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You should go to a Doctor and they will be able to tell you!. If the first course of antibiotics didn't work, you need to tell them that!. Also, you can't get an antibiotic without a Doctor, so just go and make an appointment!. If not treated chlamydia can cause serious problems!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

What you need is a good doctor as you can't treat yourself with antibiotics without a prescription!.
What you have is called Reiter's syndrome, which is a curable form of arthritis if you use antibiotics long enough, 12 to 18 months!.
By using ineffective antibiotics, or a short period of antibiotics, you allow bacteria to become resistant to antibiotics which is quite a problem if you want to achieve a full recovery!.
You should get an appointment with an orthopaedist, the medical doctor specializing in diseases of the bones and joints!.
Rheumatic diseases are the result of a defective gene and collagen inflammation, often from a chronic infection!. Collagen is present throughout the body, from the eyes, skin and joints to the heart!. Hence, the multiplicity of symptoms, depending on the location of the most affected internal organs or body parts!.
Rheumatic diseases are diagnosed in much the same way as rheumatoid arthritis, through a number of blood tests showing inflammation:
- Antistreptolysin-O (ASO);
- C-Reactive protein (CRP);
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR);
- Rheumatoid factor (RF);
- Immunoglobulins A, E, and G;
- Complement 3 (C-3)!.
For more than 27 years, I have had seronegative rheumatoid arthritis like 20% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis!. The telling signs are the following:
- Joint pain or cracking joints in the lower extremities, feet, ankles, knees or hips in the early 20's or late teens;
- Fatigue, especially after a moderate exercise like a 30 minute walk;
- Blood test showing a negative or low level of Rheumatoid factor (RF);
- Joint deformities of the fingers, after a few years, a specific sign of rheumatoid arthritis;
- Consecutive X-Rays, over several years, showing bone erosion, a consequence of rheumatoid arthritis;
- Generalized arthritis and pain, involving the whole body;
- Blood tests showing elevated levels of C-Reactive protein (CRP) and Sedimentation rate (ESR)!.
Antibiotics like Minocin, NSAIDs like Voltaren, COX-2 inhibitors like Celebrex, acetaminophen like Tylenol, codeine, and statins like Lipitor are all used to control inflammation and relieve the pain of arthritis!.
Regular exercise like walking, biking and swimming is also helpful for most patients!. Make sure that you are not overweight as carrying too much weight can only increase the pain of arthritis in the supporting joints of the hips, knees, ankles and feet!.
For any form of arthritis, you should consult an orthopaedist who will order blood tests, joint scans and X-Rays to better diagnose the type of arthritis from which you suffer!.

Lyme disease could be a possibility!. Ask your doctor to test you for the bacteria causing Lyme disease!.
Are there any other cases of arthritis or rheumatic diseases among your relatives!? Chronic forms of arthritis are usually prevalent in families where a defective gene is passed on by parents to their children!.
There are a few hundred types of arthritis and rheumatic diseases!. The good news is that science is progressing rapidly in its understanding of rheumatic diseases!.
Antibiotics are now used to achieve full remissions for at least 40%, if not 65% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis!. For rheumatic diseases which are less severe, the number of patients making a full recovery can be even more impressive!. For more info, please join the antibio group at:
