Oral STDS - neck pain

Hi Dr,
I performed oral sex on a man a year and a half ago. I thought nothing of the throat infection that I noticed a few months later.
Since then, I had tried peniccilin twice, and co amoxiclav and nothing has worked. I will be trying a throat swab for chlamydia / gonorrhea next week.
My question is, can either of these cause a painful neck or back? My upper and lower back is in pain, and my neck is very painful – it has been gradually getting worse for a few months.
Also, how likely is oral gonorrhea to go away on it’s own? Surely a throat / tonsil infection for 1 and a half years should have gone away?
Thanks a lot for any answers.

Dr's on this site agree that oral gonorrhea will clear on it's own most of the time.

most of the information online says it can not go away without antibiotics though?

Thanks for your reply.

Gonorrhea and/or chlamydia would not have affected you this long, either medication would have cured it or the body would have. And no it would not cause pain.
