Post-chikungunya joint pain can be very persistent because the virus often causes prolonged inflammation in joint tissues that may last for several months. Since your current medicines are not providing enough relief, it is advisable to consult your doctor or a rheumatologist to review your treatment plan, as dose adjustment or alternative anti-inflammatory or disease-modifying drugs may be needed. Gentle physiotherapy, regular movement, and warm compresses may help reduce stiffness and pain. It is also important to monitor and gradually reduce steroid use under medical supervision to avoid long-term side effects.
