Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Since you have got UTI that is urinary tract infection the chills indicate that it has not been cured by the antibiotics and hence you have to go for the tests of Urine for routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity to know further; shift over to another antibiotic and take plenty of fluids orally without additional salt as you have swelling too and the water pills are not suitable for you.
Joint pain can be due to septicemia secondary to UTI or can be a primary disease for which you need an opinion of a Orthopedic Surgeon, investigations and proper management.
Change in color of stool is not very important problem and if the stool tests show something then get treated accordingly.
