i had fever a  month back. the fever lasted for 2 days, along with fever i also suffered from pains in joint primarily in ankle, wrist and the index finger of left hand. now its been a month still i have the pain and it is not even reducing. i went to the doctor for this pain. he told me that these are the after effects of the fever and gave me multivit.tabs and pain killers (diclofenac sodium). i want to know whether the pain is actually due tto the fever or hv i developed sm bone disease.
Hi,As you are still suffering pain in your joints, I suggest you need further investigation. You may possibly have developed arthritis. Further investigation would include blood tests for ESR, CRP and full blood count. Also X-rays and scans of the affected joints would be needed. A consultation with a rheumatologist would help.Regards,Dr K A Pottinger
