The blood test result are as follows Uric acid 5.1 Esr 42 mm/hr Age:26 years He gave me zyloric acid tablet and febuxostat which I took for one month. But the pain is still der t. Yesterday I went again he said it will take atleast six months to get completely cured. He prescribed me colchicine and asked me to take in the morning and night for the next two months.. dosage level is 0.5mg.. is it fine to take this tablet for such a long time.. wat is my problem exactly.. wen will I get completely cured.

Your doctor has suspected that you have gout. He has initiated the treatment for the same. There is no permanent cure for gout. You need to take prolonged medicines.

Sometimes other inflammatory arthritis can have similar symptoms. You may need additional tests if your symptoms are not resolving.
