Tendon sheath swelling
I had a tendon sheath swollen issue on my left hand wrist area around 2 months ago and after consulting with doctor( after doing xray he found it is issue with tendon sheath swollen). He adviced to take blood test to find the cause and figured out that uric acid level was high -7.5.
I was under medication for one and half month to reduce the uric acid level and also advised not to have mutton, alcohol and too spicy food to keep the level normal.
The pain reduced significantly and uric acid level came down to 5.5.
Im still following diet to bring the level down to 5 or below, but somedays when I get up in the morning I have a slight pain on my wrist but it gets better after sometime. Not sure if it is something that need ti worried or wait for some more weeks? Can anyone please advice.
