Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to getting Gout attacks. High uric acid level in blood is the reason for this. By checking uric acid level in blood you can rule out this. Taking uricosuric drugs like Allopurinol or Probenecid is helpful not get further attacks by reducing uric acid levels in blood. During acute attack you can take NSAIDs like Naproxen or Ibuprofen. Avoid high purine content foods like organ meat , big fishes , Red meat , shrimp , lobsters etc.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
