Hello sir, You are one among the many who are suffering from this problem ,post chikungunya.This arthritis is known to persist for as long as 2-3 years post infection.There have been many recommendations regarding the treatment for this particular problem. Many doctors prefer a low dose steroid with Hydroxychloroquine as a supplement.Chikungunya has been know to trigger many inflammatory arthritis, so you need to visit a general physician or even better a rheumatologist to get a proper evaluation done.
