I have been suffering from severe joint pain and numbness in my arms and thighs for the last two years, which is preventing me from sleeping. I am currently taking Lupivestin and Newbona Fem, but they are not providing any relief. I also had Chikungunya recently, but the pain started before the infection. What alternative medicines should I take to get relief from this pain?

The numbness in your arms and thighs suggests nerve-related pain (such as neuropathy or nerve compression), which your current joint and bone medications do not treat. Chikungunya has likely worsened this underlying inflammation. To find relief, you need a clinical evaluation by a neurologist or orthopedist. They may test for spinal nerve issues or vitamin deficiencies (like B12) and may prescribe targeted nerve pain medications such as Pregabalin or Gabapentin. Please do not stop Newbona Fem without consulting your physician, as it is crucial for your bone health, and avoid starting new medications without a proper prescription.
