Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Pain in multiple joints, back can be due to many reasons.
One such reason is rheumatic arthritis which is an Autoimmune disease that can involve the joints. The disease typically develops two to four weeks after a throat infection caused by streptococcus bacteria. Symptoms include fever, multiple painful joints, involuntary muscle movements. It is believed to be caused by antibody cross-reactivity.
In rheumatic arthritis the antibodies (which are body defense system)produced against streptococcus react against the myocardium and joints, producing the symptoms of rheumatic fever.
Diagnosis of rheumatic arthritis can be made by elevated or rising antibodies level which are antistreptolysin O titre -ASO titre.

Hoping your query is solved
Get well soon.
