Uric Acid 9.3
TSH 8.69 --3 Months ago.
Completed Thyronorm 12.5 for 90 days
And had uric acid medicine for 10 days.
Yet to test now.
What should i do now?
Uric acid is high, but elevated uric acid alone does not mean gout. Treatment depends on whether you have documented gout attacks, kidney stones or other risk factors.
Rx/Advice:
Increase water intake.
Reduce alcohol, sugary drinks and excess red meat/organ meat.
Do not continue/start uric-acid medication without medical review.
Repeat TSH + Free T4 now, as the previous TSH was 8.69. Thyronorm dose should be decided based on the current results and clinical assessment.
For persistent joint pain/swelling, examination is needed to determine whether this is actually gout or another joint problem.
