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 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. All the doctors suggest are painkillers, but I really want something thatll help get rid of this pain for good. What can I do to make this happen? Any advice on other treatments or solutions would be great.
The persistent joint pain and mobility issues you're experiencing after chikungunya are common, affecting up to 60% of patients; consider consulting a rheumatologist for further evaluation and potential treatment options, such as physical therapy, joint injections, or disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), in addition to pain management, to help alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.

I'm feeling really off because my hands are getting unusually warm, but my body temperature seems normal. I've already been tested for typhoid, malaria, dengue, and jaundice, and all the tests came back negative. I'm pretty worried and not quite sure what's going on. Can you offer any insight into what might be happening?
Given the negative test results for typhoid, malaria, dengue, and jaundice, the warm hands and feeling of sickness could be related to other conditions such as anxiety, overactive thyroid, poor circulation, or anemia; consult your doctor about further testing, such as a complete blood count (CBC), thyroid function tests (TFTs), or an electrocardiogram (ECG), to determine the underlying cause.
