Hello,

Joint pain is quite common after an episode of chikungunya. It will settle by itself with conservative measures.
As a first line management you can take analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol for pain management.
Generally the symptoms will settle in couple of weeks and if persists you can consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
