I think you're referring to reactive arthritis? A form of inflammatory arthritis that usually does eventually go away, but horrible while it lasts.

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. However due to bilateral pneumonia and septicemia over Christmas I was given a massive dose of antibiotics both I.V and oral over 28 days. Since then all my symptoms of fibro have gone!..Which the the doctors are at a loss to explain. But after numerous infections over the last two years and increasing pain the only thing I can think of to explain it is a reactive arthritis.
