Uric acid level

2022-01-14 16:18:57
20 days before I have checked my uric acid was 4.2 Today i checked my uric acid is 5.88 Currently I'm having sharp pain in my knee joint and shoulder joint and feeling very tired due to pain. Should I need to take medicine for uric acid ? Earlier (1.5 year back) i have a history of high uric acid of 8.2 due to which my ankle still hurt when I press them?
