Could you let us know what's the current serum uric acid levels?
I'm assuming your mom would be in her late fourties or early fifties
Please correct me if I'm wrong
Next Steps
start with keeping her fit and active
sun exposure on daily basis specially in the middle of the day where UV B that generates vit D is higher
Quads strengthening
VMO exercises
will help a great deal
Health Tips
Get her Vit D checked
Avoid red meat and organ meat in case there is a consumption, that would keep a check on her uric acid
