Question 1

I'm experiencing a sharp bee sting-like pain in my lower leg that lasts for just 1 or 2 seconds. I've felt this before a few months back, but it didn't stick around for long. Now, it seems to come and go more frequently and isn't going away. What could be causing these pains? Is there something I should be worried about?

Question 2

My wife has been dealing with headaches for the past 3 years, and over the last 45 months, they've gotten really severe. An MRI scan showed she has an arachnoid cyst. The pain is mostly at the back of her head, and sometimes when it's really bad, she feels like vomiting. Is there any treatment for this, or can it be cured without surgery?

Question 3

I'm experiencing these weird full-body muscle vibrations, almost like internal waves, whenever I move. It's been going on for about 2.5 years now, and it happens in my neck, shoulders, arms, legspretty much everywhere. Whenever I bend down, I feel this wave-like sensation in my back, too. Along with that, I've been having neck and back pain. Can you help me figure out what's going on? I'm really curious and a bit worried about these symptoms.

Accepted Answer

Gout arthritis management:
 
 _Current situation:_
 
 1. High uric acid levels
 2. Recurring gout attacks (right knee, now left knee)
 3. Febuxostat (Febustat) 40mg daily provides relief
 
 _Concerns:_
 
 1. Dependence on medication for pain management
 2. Intermittent dosing (2 timesday) may not be optimal
 3. Potential kidney stone risk with high uric acid
 
 _Recommended adjustments:_
 
 1. Consult rheumatologist or primary care physician.
 2. Consider:
 - Increasing Febuxostat to 80mg daily (if tolerated).
 - Allopurinol (alternative uric acid reducer).
 - Probenecid (uricosuric agent).
 3. Lifestyle modifications:
 - Hydrate adequately (2-3 litersday).
 - Low-purine diet (limit organ meats, seafood).
 - Maintain healthy weight.
 - Exercise regularly.
 - Limit alcohol intake.
 
 _Additional considerations:_
 
 1. Colchicine for acute gout attacks.
 2. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain.
 3. Corticosteroids (oral or injected) for severe inflammation.
 
 _Monitoring:_
 
 1. Regular uric acid level checks.
 2. Kidney function tests.
 3. Liver function tests.
