How soon can joint pain begin after syphilis exposure? does it occur during secondary (6 weeks after exposure) or tertiary? is syphilis joint pain severe, or mild?

Joint pain is not a symptom of syphilis, except very rarely many years after being infected, when certain kinds of joint damage can occur.
