Persisting Ankle Pain Even After Decrease In Uric Acid Level, Taken Bencid, Colchincine. Suggestion?

I am patient of uric acid since 3 years. In these period my uric acid level has reached up to 7.2. However, when my uric acid level crossed 5.5 then starts ankle pain at right leg. About a week ago i was suffering from ankle pain and i was at remote area of Nepal for field visit and there was not possible to check uric acid level or any doctor. At that time i had take medicine Colchincine 0.5 mg and Bencid only 1/2 tablets twice daily (during the field visit i always keep these medicine in my bag). Yesterday, when i reached Kathgmandu and chek up my uric acid it was only 4, but ankle pain is not reduced yet. What i have to do please suggest me. My age is 44(male) Robin Bhandari

It is possible this trip in remote aria aggravated your condition. If you can maintain uric acid level in normal range then take a rest ( your ankle joint ), continue your medication and diet. If symptoms will persist with inflammation, swelling, etc.. then you must consult your family physician and change your medication, or as a last choice intraarticular injection with steroids ( unless you have not contraindications). Remember regularly check your Renal function , CBC. Also consult Ayurveda specialist.
