Urgent: Medication safety check

Question

Asked for Female, 60 Years

Hi Dear Doctor's, I am a heart failure patient with 42% EF and TVD, recovering from a recent pulmonary edema ICU stay. My current daily medications are: Fehugel 40mg, Ecosprin AV 75/40, Axler 90, Prolomet-R 25 (1/2), Dytor Plus 5 (1/2), Novorapid and Lantus. I have severe ankle pain from high Uric Acid (9.5), and Orthopedics prescribed Tab. Setolac 300 ER (Etodolac) for 10 days. Please confirm: Is this NSAID safe to add to routine, or does it carry a fluid retention risk for heart and lungs? If unsafe, please suggest a heart-safe alternative (like Colchicine) for joint pain. Thank you🙏.
