Chikungunya virus is a newly emerging vector-borne illness in the Caribbean, with the potential to spread into the United Staes. The virus can cause fever and severe joint pain, which can last from weeks to months. As treatment of Chikungunya virus infections is largely supportive, it is important to rule out other infectious agents for which targeted therapy exists. While testing options to detect Chikungunya virus exist, availability of such assays is limited.

I was recently on a trip to Central America. I visited Costa Rica and Nicaragua and began showing symptoms of this virus when I returned home. It has been over 5 weeks and I am still experiencing debilitating pain. No pain medications help. Prednisone is the only medication that I can take and be able to function. Warning all people travelling to areas where this virus can be contracted, be vigilant and do your best to avoid mosquitoes. The pain is horrible and just when you think it may be abating it can come back with a vengeance overnight. Every morning is a new ballgame. This is a horrible thing to get.

For the elderly and those with weak immunity, pain in joints or arthritis can last years because their damaged nerves in the joints have not fully recovered. Neurobion forte can help in healing the nerves in the joints because it contains enough vitamin B12 in the recovery process.

You shared very good information. My uncle was suffering from this problem. He was very upset at that time. He went to Planet Ayurveda and started his treatment. Now he is fine. If you have this type of problem or any other type of health problem. You must go to Planet Ayurveda.
