ASO titre is a very non specific test and yes, it is quite common in India to have high ASO titres. Keep following up with the rheumatologist as this is often encountered in regular practice. The need for penicillin is not always there to treat this pain. The pain may be due to other causes. Follow up with your Rheumatologist.
