I've been having arthritis pain in my left index finger (all joints) / left hand thumb, right middle finger for last 4-5 months...i consulted doc n got uric acid tests done, result 7.1, took no uric tab/doxydar/arcoxia course and some other tabs too. The uricacid levels fell to 5.0 but pain n inflammation kept increasing. I need a second opinion.
