Hello there,
thank you for posting on healthcare magic.
Obesity or being overweight te ds to raise your blood uric acid levels. Asymptomatic hyperuricaemia does not require medication, however, you mentioned that you have foot pain; if you have swollen painful red joints then it is most likely gout.
On the other hand, if it is diffuse nonspecific foot pain, it is not due to gout.
If there is a painful red swollen joint, joint fluid aspiration and examination must be done to identify th cause.If you do have gout, then you need to be treated with prescription drugs like Allopurinol or Febuxostat.You may also take Ibuprofen orally along with an antiulcerant like omeprazole.However, you need to talk to your healthcare providers for a prescription.
In addition to all that, you need to lose weight.Reduction in weight in an obese individual can significantly reduce blood uric acid levels.It also increases insulin sentivity hence that will help with your family history of diabetes mellitus.
I hope this helps.
