Chlamydia is one of several infections that can trigger reactive arthritis. However, arthritis or joint pain has many causes, sometimes including allergic reaction to drugs. You cannot judge or diagnose this on your own: see a doctor ASAP. If your PCP is not highly knowledgeable about arthritis and related conditions, see a rheumatologist. Good luck.
