[/INST] Hello,In case of post chikungunya in a good number of cases there are chances of having joint pain. This is due to an immune reaction with joints. As you have already consulted your physician and there is a confirm diagnosis then I will suggest you following for relief:1. Take a mild analgesic like aceclofenac 100mg on your doctor advice2. I used to treat severe pain in such cases with combination of pregabalin. You may discuss this with your doctor3. Do mild warm fomentation over knee4. Take some medicines which can help in resolving joint inflammation like combination of hyaluronic acid available in market. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopaedic Surgeon </s>
