Candida arthritis

I’ve had a lot of antibiotics in the last year. I had treatment for thrush a few weeks ago, probably caused by the antibiotics. I don’t think the thrush went away. I now have achy joints, and I suspect that the thrush has spread and is causing candida arthritis. I’m annoyed that I’ve only just put the two together, at the start of a long weekend. I had a vaginal swab done on Tuesday. I also have an enlarged uterus, and I’ve been referred to gynecology. I suspect this is linked too. I can’t decide whether to wait until Tuesday to discuss with my GP, or to go to A&E tomorrow. I feel that I can’t face sitting in A&E again, and I’m reasoning that I’m not overly unwell. I could also get some medication from a pharmacy. Has anyone had any experience of anything like this?

Maybe take a good quality probiotic. Or if you can’t get that, Yakhult, the light version with the blue cap.
