The body and joint pain associated with chikungunya usually lasts up to 2 weeks , rarely even longer.Drink plenty of water ,use vitamin c ,and over the counter pain killers. You can also try applying the mixture of garlic paste and clove oil over the joints, effectiveness varies from person to person.

Depends on how long you plan to survive after Chikunguniya. The joint pain normally lasts for about two weeks in most of the patients . If you are alive after two weeks then in your case it is not lifelong.
