Reactive arthritis: Prostatitis and joint problems are 2 of the key diagnostic criteria for Reactive arthritis (old name Reiter's syndrome). You should see your family doctor or a rheumatologist for a definite answer.

Careful!New reports : of severe tendinitis have been reported with this antibiotic.Call your treating physician immediately ,hold any more doses,until this is addressed early next week.Can lead to tendon rupture and corrective surgery.
