I'm waking up every morning with this really bad pain going from my knees all the way down to my feet. I just had a blood test done, and it turns out I don't have diabetes, but my uric acid levels are constantly high. I know this is probably because I have meningomyelocelespinafidida at the last joint of my spine. Can you tell me what might be going on or how to manage it? I'm a bit worried about all this.
