Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you may be having reactive arthritis. Reactive arthritis occurs after any fever or infection as a reaction of body to infection. I treat my such patients by injection intramuscular triamcilone weekly till pain subsides. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Vitamin B and C help in recovery. You can discuss with your doctor about it. I hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your query.
Wishing you good health
Take care.
