Hello,

You say that you are prone to gout. If you have any lab test, can send to me for further evaluation and see what the level of uric acid in the blood is, plus need to know the status of your inflammation (CRP, ERS, etc).

Next, anti-inflammatory meds are not the only solution for gout. You need to take other meds that will help prevent further damage to your joints from the accumulation of uric acid and to reduce its levels in the blood.

If you are taking any, please mention all the names in detail to get a full picture of your current health status.

Diet changes are also very important to ease gout symptoms. Should stay away from foods that would increase uric acid in blood: alcohol, sugary foods, meat, etc.

Plus, need to apply local anti-inflammatory and physiotherapy. A magnesium supplement can help. Wish fast recovery. Looking forward to having the requested information and lab reports in.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
