It seems you are diagnosed with gout.
You need to continue uric acid lower drugs. You should not stop these medicines without consulting doctor otherwise you may develop other joint pain and damage to joints. You should follow dietary instructions and regular doctor visit and regular xray if pain not improve. It might possible you will get pain episode or flare during treatment too.
