Posted on Thu, 5 Jan 2017

Question: I woke up this morning with moderate pain in many joints, especially, knees, ankles and wrists. Also a burning sensation on the palms of my hands (mainly the left hand). Any thoughts?

Brief Answer:
Get uric acid level checked.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have read your query.

Symptoms you are explaining, telling should not be ignored.

Get serum uric acid, ESR, CRP levels done and send me the report.

These symptoms may occur due to increase uric acid level, which must be controlled.

Otherwise, if uric acid is normal and no fevercis present then, it will be ok with painkiller.

Till then have aceclofenac + thiocolchicoside tablet twice a day.

I hope it heps.

Thanks,

Since this medication has different brand name in different countries, so can have this medication with thexname of salt which I explain you previously.

You can get these medication by prescription of your local doctor.

In the meantime you can get your test done and send me the report.
