Gout (Uric acid elevated)
I have the problem of gout. I have been feeling pain in my Knees for more than 1 year. Initially one doctor suggested Vitamin D deficiency. After taking medicines for 4-5 months, there was not expected relief. After tests uric acid level was found elevated. It was 7.2 and after 2 months of taking medicine, it elevated more and was 7.7. No benefit of medicine. I am avoiding high protein diet since last 5 months.
Please suggest permanent cure and not temporary relief.

Dear Respected
I have gone through your problems.
Increase the dose of medicine.
For more clear advice I need to examine you in details along with some investigation like x ray and blood test.
Revert back with all these.
