Post-chikungunya joint stiffness is common and can last for weeks to months. Glucosamine and Dycerin are often helpful for reducing joint pain and improving mobility, so they can be taken if advised by the doctor. Also, try gentle stretching, warm compress, and staying hydrated. Feeling tired while walking usually improves as the joints heal, but if it continues, get your vitamin D and haemoglobin checked.
