My aunt is 55 years old and recently her left foot began to swell with pain. She has had this issue before, which was previously caused by raised uric acid levels, but this time her uric acid is not significantly elevated. She is also taking medications for diabetes, high blood pressure, and hypothyroidism. The pain and swelling are not improving with the medicines she previously used, including FURIC 40 for uric acid and Nucoxia 90 for pain and swelling. Her recent thyroid function test results are TSH 2.32 microIU/mL, T3 1.13 nmol/L, and T4 165.80 nmol/L. I am also uploading her lipid profile and uric acid test reports. Kindly review and advise on the possible cause and next steps for treatment.

If uric acid is normal, swelling may be due to arthritis, venous insufficiency, or neuropathy. Further joint evaluation is needed.

Hello Sir, My name is Omkar Prasad Acharjee. Recently, I took a blood test and found my uric acid level to be 8.2. My blood sugar is 88 fasting and 107 postprandial, and my blood pressure is 130/80. My total bilirubin level is 1.29. I am currently worried about whether my uric acid level indicates any severity. I have pain in my legs and joints, some inflammation with mild pain in different parts of the body, and I also have gastric troubles. I am concerned about my condition. Is there anything to worry about regarding my kidneys? I am seeking expert advice. Thank you.

My mother is having back pain and pain in the heel area. She is also unable to move her arms. Is her uric acid normal or increased? Could you also review her urine report? Her uric acid is 5.93.
