I've been dealing with some joint and chest pains since I had chikungunya last month. They seem to come and go, sometimes they're really intense and other times not so much. Is this something that will eventually clear up on its own, or should I be doing something to help with the recovery? I'm just a bit worried and would appreciate any advice.

I've been dealing with this pain in my left shoulder for the last few days. It's really uncomfortable and even spreads to my upper chest when I breathe. On top of that, I'm noticing pain in my joints, mostly in my wrists and fingers. It's pretty worrisome, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can you give me some advice on what this might be?

I got chikungunya in early May, and it's been a couple of months, but the pain just wont go away. Its making it really hard to walk or get through my daily routine.

Any advice on other treatments or solutions would be great.

Question

I'm really concerned about high uric acid levels, and I'm curious if there's a permanent way to manage or even cure it. My friend's level is around 8, and I'm wondering what kind of diet changes might help. Also, is there any effective treatment in alternative medicine for this?
