Leg swollen and uric acid
My ankle are swollen on both the legs. I travelled a long flight a month ago, but the swelling didn't reduce and it persist.
I elevated my legs all the time and the swelling didn't reduce.
I went to Dr and had leg Doppler scan. I have few bulgy varicose veins on one leg. No blood clot in the scan.
I had blood work and uric acid was high than normal. It was 6.95mg/dL.
But Dr didn't give me any medicines for high uric acid.
Is this normal?
Does high Uric acid cause swelling on the ankle?
What medicine or treatment for high uric acid? My creatinine is normal.
