the joint pain is due to chikunguinia.
physiotherapy treatment will give you relief from joint pain and help you maintaining joint ranges
yoga is also helpful for this disease
as a prognosis the joint pain will become worse for a year and than it will resolve slowly on own
hoping you a faster recovery
hope you find this helpful
