Persistent joint pain after Chikungunya (known as chronic Chikungunya arthritis) is a common aftereffect that can last for weeks to months due to ongoing inflammation. While Intagesic MR Tablet may provide temporary relief, long-term daily use without medical supervision is not recommended because of potential side effects. You should consult a doctor or rheumatologist for proper evaluation and treatment, which may include short-term corticosteroids or disease-modifying agents if needed. Regular physiotherapy and gentle joint exercises are also important to maintain joint mobility and strength.
