Post viral infection one can have muscular pain for some time. However the presence of bruises needs to be investigated. Growing pain at this age is not a possibilty. I suggest that you consult your doctor and get the following investigations done:
1. Haemogram.
2. Bleeding and clotting time.
3. Coagulation profile.
4. Serology for chikungunya.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
