Persistent Sharp Pain In Palms And Soles. Used Various Balms. Had Suffered From Chikungunya. What Is The Cause?
Hi, I have Chikunguniya disease 6 months ago. Though the disease was cured, I still have sharp pain in hand palms and below the foot . Pain is more when I sit for a while and walk. I applied various pain balms. But no use. Could this pain be due to Chikunguniya or it could be some other disease? I am 30 and I have no health issues like Diabetes etc.

I would like to suggest you to do ESR, CRP and Ra factor to check if our are having polyarthritis. I would also suggest you to do the followings.
1.Show it to rheumatologist.
2. Take Brufen daily
3.Tablet HCQ twice daily
4. Tablet SAAZ once daily.
there is role of steroid if pain still persist.
