Hello, Joint pain is quite common after an episode of chikungunya. It will settle by itself with conservative measures. As a first line management you can take analgesics like Diclofenac or Tramadol for pain management. Generally the symptoms will settle in a couple of weeks and if persists you can consult a physician and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
