Question 1

Sometimes while walking, my knee gets blocked, and while sleeping, I am unable to fully bend my knee. When I try to bend it, I hear a clicking sound, which is quite painful. I also feel inflammation in the fingers of my leg, making it difficult to sleep at night. I have been taking 1 tablet of Feburic 20 daily for the past month. I am attaching my blood test report and would appreciate your advice on treatment or medications to relieve my knee and finger problems.

Question 2

Hi, my mother is 56 years old and experiences frequent pain in the ankle area. I consulted the Sathvik Spine Foundation in Jayanagar, Bangalore, and Dr. Yogesh suggested consulting a rheumatologist to provide medication as the blood test report shows high uric acid content. What should we do?

Question 3

Hello Doctor, my mother is 54 years old. For the past few days, her left ankle has been swelling whenever she walks or does basic physical activity like climbing stairs. She had a whole body checkup 6 months ago, which was normal. Two months back, she also had basic blood tests (CBC, renal function, liver function, sugar tests), and her sugar and uric acid were borderline. Her current uric acid level is 5.80. Could the ankle swelling be due to uric acid, or might there be another cause? I have attached the reports for your review.

Uric acid of 6.1 is mildly high for someone with joint pain. Avoid red meat, seafood, alcohol, and sugary drinks. Eat fruits, vegetables, and drink more water. Recheck Uric Acid Test every 3 to 6 months.
