A member asked:
A strep carrier shows no signs of infection, but could chronic joint pain result from being a carrier?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If a carrier has had acute strep infection and has antibodies--found by blood tests they could have post strep arthritis--a carrier should not have chronic joint pains.
