This sounds like gonorrhea; often an easy fix.
Joint pains sounds like it may be in a farther stage, to where it's spreading.
Make a doctors appointment ASAP or go to urgent care. They'll give you a few pills and a shot and you should be fine - just take care of it.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
A yellowish colored penile discharge with or without a foul smell might be indicative of epididymitis or prostatitis. Common causative organisms are chlamydia or gonorrhea. Semen culture will help in the proper diagnosis. You will need antibiotics for proper treatment. Consult a urologist for the same. Earlier the treatment, lesser the complications.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
