The joint pains may be due to reactive Arthritis secondary to the infection,it would be prudent to seek the opinion of your PCP/Doctor who can examine you and investigate you further.NSAIDs like Ibubrufen/Paracetamol will help in the interim,treating the urinary infection with the appropriate antibiotics after a urine Culture and sensitivity testing will help.
