My big toe hurts sometimes. This is infrequent but at times quite painful, lasting for hours and even days. I also used to have pain in both the wrists, aggravated whenever I would push a box or press my palm against anything. Similarly, my elbow joints also had pain, which now has subsided, but I do have difficulty picking up small loads (grocery bags, for example). Though I am able to carry them some distance, I am usually left with stiffness and pain in the arms. I haven t had myself tested for uric acid for sometime, it was rarely above normal. I did take medication for that a couple of times.
