Why does using fastum gel make my lower left leg hurt even more? My doctor recommended it for my muscle pain, but it seems to be causing more discomfort. I'm curious to know why this is happening.

While Fastum gel is generally effective for relieving muscle pain, it might be causing irritation or heightened sensitivity in your case, especially if your skin is already inflamed. discontinue use and consult your doctor for advice on alternative treatments. They may want to reassess your condition to ensure the best approach to managing your leg pain.

View allI'm dealing with this recurring issue where my uric acid levels get high. I've been diagnosed with gout arthritis in the past, and I've been taking Febustat 40 daily whenever I notice any pain or swelling. I've tried taking it twice a day, which seems to help, but if I stop for a while, the pain comes back. It used to only affect my right knee, but now it's happening in my left knee too. What should I do about this? Is there a better way to manage it?
