Do i have DGI? (Disseminated gonococcal infection)

I got infected about 3 weeks ago with Gonorrhea of the throat i had a mild sore throat and just thought it was tonsillitis since i suffer from it a lot i just went to a STD clinic and told me i have Gonorrhea in the throat and since i am extremely allergic to penicillin they gave me 2 gm of Azithromycin to take in a single dose which i did today. Now, since yesterday i have been experiencing some joint discomfort and sever non-stop tingling all over my body.

My question is could this be DGI?
Does DGI cause tingling sensation and joint discomfort?
Will the 2 gm of Azithromycin in a single dose cure DGI if i had it?

I think that systemic g infection can cause swelling and therefore joint pain, but I don't know about the tingling. It's a tough thing to diagnose over the internet... need testing vs. symptom analysis.  I think that systemic infection would need IV rather than pills.
