Why Am I Still Having Pain In My Feet After Taking Febuoxstat?

Hi. I am 23.. I finished my under graduation from Med school three months back when I got diagnosed with tuberculous lymphadenitis, tuberculous pleural effusion and pericardial effusion. I am on akt4 since more than months. Since the last three weeks I ve been suffering from very severe pain in my feet below the medial malleoli. The same site on both sites is tender and slightly swollen. My uric acid levels are raised and I ve been taking Febuoxstat for it since three weeks. There is no improvement in the pain. I am not able to even walk properly. Should I be concerned ??

Hi, dear.

I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your have gout problem. In that level of uric acid is increased and its crystals are deposited in joint and causes joint pain. You are taking febuxostat it is uric acid lowering drug. It takes time to releive pain. You can take anti inflammatory plus analgesic drug for receiving your pain. Once your level of uric acid fall down you will get releif. Moreover you should take low protein diet to decrease production of uric acid.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
