Joint pain may also occur during the secondary stage of syphilis, as the infection can cause inflammation in various parts of the body.

• Characteristics and Diagnosis: Joint pain associated with syphilis may be mild to moderate and can affect multiple joints. If you experience joint pain along with other symptoms suggestive of syphilis, consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and testing.

• Treatment and Relief: Treating the underlying syphilis infection with antibiotics can help alleviate joint pain and prevent further complications. In some cases, over-the-counter pain relievers may be recommended to manage discomfort.
