A member asked:

Is it possible to still experience joint pains two weeks after german measles?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yes. Persistant joint pain or artralgias are a common complication of rubella or german measle. This is rare, so call your doctor to make sure that is the diagnosis. It should eventually disappear, but may take time.
