I am 28 year old male with weight 73 kg,height 164 cm and had some right knee problem while coming down stairs . I also have higt
TSH and presently have thyroxine sodium of 50mcg.
Orthopaedic consultation suggested Right knee MRI and
uric acid test.
Uric acid is 7.4 mg/dl and knee MRi suggests " Minimal Joint effusion Present " and "Lower part of Patella showing small focal subchondral marrow edema centrally".
Orthopaedic suggested an URIC acid medicine and Arthirities medicine.
I tought of reffering to a MEDICINE doctor and he suggested that if URIC acid level is below 9.0 I should not have any uric acid medicine,rather I should change food habit .He also suggested of not having any Arthirities medicine and suggested to have just
calcium and thyroxine sodium tablet.
Kindly suggest if I need to take URic acid/arthirities medicine or not. I am totally confused
