Question 1

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 2

I am a 30 year old healthy male and have been experiencing some joint pain. My recent test results are as follows: ASO is 199 IU/ml, RA factor is 2.1 IU/ml, Hemoglobin is 14.7 gm, TSH is 1.53 IU/ml, Fasting Plasma Glucose is 98 mg/dl, and Uric Acid is 7.7 mg/dl. I would like to know if I need to start medication for uric acid, or if it can be managed with lifestyle changes.

Question 3

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.

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.
