I got chikungunya in early May, and it's been a couple of months, but the pain just wont go away. Its making it really hard to walk or get through my daily routine. All the doctors suggest are painkillers, but I really want something thatll help get rid of this pain for good. What can I do to make this happen? Any advice on other treatments or solutions would be great.

The persistent joint pain and mobility issues you're experiencing after chikungunya are common, affecting up to 60% of patients; consider consulting a rheumatologist for further evaluation and potential treatment options, such as physical therapy, joint injections, or disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), in addition to pain management, to help alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.Last updated on 29 Jan 2025
