Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
Firstly, in order to PINPOINT the exact cause of your problems; give you a SOUND professional advice; and, TRUE VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY, may I request you to kindly provide additional information as follows :-
# How long AFTER
Klebsiella infection, did the joint pain start?
# At the onset of pain, did you have
- painful urination and a discharge from the penis
-
Diarrhea
- Mouth ulcers
- Inflammation of the eye
# Do you have any patches of scaly skin on the palms, soles, trunk, or scalp?
Nevertheless, the details provided by you are suggestive of the following conditions :-
* Ankylosing Spondylosis- which begins with pain in the pelvic region and low back.
*
Reactive Arthritis - which usually follows an infection (including bacterial infection) and the joints involvement occur 1-4 weeks after the infection. Other symptoms, apart from low back and
pelvic pain, are urinary infection or discharge from penis, mouth ulcers and inflammation of an eye.
* Compression over the lower spine and nerves.
Consult a good Rheumatologist as the above-mentioned conditions fall into his domain.
Discuss your case with him and also apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with my opinion; order required tests, and- based on the reports- will arrive at a certain diagnosis and prescribe suitable treatment as advised.
