Hi,
Sorry to hear about the knee problems your wife is having.
It is not clear to me whether or not she has had an actual diagnosis of gout in the past.
A raised uric acid level does not mean that it is necessary to try drop it down if there is no history of gout.
If it is just the knee that is giving her problems, it is likely that there is some osteoarthritis going on.
It may be useful to have her right knee injected with a steroid injection to help with her knee pain, rather than focus too much on trying to decrease the uric acid.
I hope this helps!
