Hello Mr.Rai;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
You did not mention your age .Any way the report shows high uric acid as per you say also CRP is high.CRP is indicative of any under lying infection or ongoing inflammatory process in your body & uric acid is high which has given rise to your joint pain .Probably what you are suffering is called Gout ;its a inflammation of joint so you need to control your diet & take medicines to reduce the levels of uric acid only then the pain will reduce.Please consult a Orthopaedic doctor for opinion & treatment.
Take care
Thanks
