Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am Dr. Akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. It is very common to have post viral arthralgia and it can be very painful. My advise to you will be intensive physical therapy take short course of anti inflammatory medication like tab etoshine etc for 5-7 days tab hcqs can be given for few days as it has shown evidence to give pain relief take calcium and vitamin d supplementation and well continue with conditioning ex and daily walks to keep your bone density to decent levels. Make sure that your initial chikungunya fever is adequately treated. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance.
