Talk to General Physician on Joint Health After Chikungunya Fever.
Asking For Self, Male 27, Karachi
I'm a working person and I got sick 15-20 days ago. It was a fever known as Chikungunya and I recovered from it within a week. I'm alright now but my joint health is getting bad day by day. I feet, knee, and the palm of my left hand hurt like anything. My feet are the worst hurting right now. I work so I have to stand and they get swollen up. Please suggest some medicine. I'm in very much pain.

You should continue pain killers along with calcium supplements for about a month
Many people with chikungunya get better with no other symptoms after 1 to 2 weeks. But others may have joint and muscle pain for months or even years. This is called chronic chikungunya arthritis. It affects at least 40% of those who become infected with the virus.
For ongoing joint and muscle pain, drugs that relieve rheumatoid arthritis may help. Ask your healthcare professional specifically an internal medicine doctor.
