Question 4

how long one is supposed to take 40mg febuxostat to keep uric acid levels below 6?? mine usually increases again after 1.5 months, i dont suffer from gout but i have stiffness in my right foot joints accompanied with burning sensation in thumb joint?

Accepted Answer

: If you have to use febuxostat for controlling high uric acid level you have to continue for the rest of your life unless you are able to keep uric acid intake to a minimum which is not easy. The medication probably has full effect after 2-3 weeks of taking it. If uric acid is not lower than 6 after 2-3 weeks, dose needs to be doubled.

i slipped down stairs 3 days ago. have swelling and bruising on the outside of my left ankle starting on the joint making almost a band shape to the back of my foot, left side of heel to pinky toe. foot is kinda numb and very cold to touch. what now?

Accepted Answer

Seek medical care : Given the traumatic history that you have given, I would recommend seeing a doctor and getting X-rays.  If not right away go to the emergency room if you have insurance. I would recommend staying off it until evaluated. I would initiate contrast bath at this stage of the injury. Hot and cold soaks.

Question 7

i have repeated painful swollen joints i have been told it is gout i have had the joint fluid analyzed 4 times and there have never been any crystals negative rheumatoid panel it affects fingers wrist foot ankle heel knee usually one at a time occasionall

Accepted Answer

RF - rheum arthritis: You could have rheumatoid factor negative (rf-) rheumatoid arthritis. Not likely gout without crystals in fluid. Other possibilities are pseudo gout or lupus. You may want to see a rheumatologist.

Question 8

i have problems with my legs. i'm very young and i'm feeling excruciating pain in my legs. i have pain in my knees, shins, heel (anterior and posterior), and my feet (toe joint next to my big toe joint and the tendon that connects my pinky toe on top of t

Accepted Answer

It's : It's always a challenge trying to give specific answers without the benefit of an examination or the ability to ask you specific questions.

That being said, the fact that you can run probably excludes any vascular issue like poor circulation (which is unlikely in a younger person).  Knowing you have flat feet, and given the widespread involvement that is limited to only your lower extremities, the first thing i would investigate is a biomechanical cause for your symptoms.  If your foot structure is such that it's causing your leg muscles to overwork in an effort to compensate for the structural issues, that most certainly can cause all sorts of muscle fatigue, heel pain, shin splints, low-grade tendonitis, etc.

I would recommend seeing a podiatrist and get a biomechanical examination.  Orthotics, either a good over-the-counter kind, or a custom molded pair will improve your symptoms dramatically.  Also, needless to say, make sure you take enough time to stretch before and after each run.

Good luck.  Hope this helps.

Question 9

i am experiencing  foot tenderness, foot pain, difficulty walking, pain in ball of foot, and unable to bear weight but not ankle pain, heel pain, ankle swelling, ankle stiffness, heel spur, and joint stiffness.

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: It sounds like you need to be seen by your doctor for an in-person exam. You can also try over the counter pain medications, such as tylenol and ibuprofen. You may have an injury, a sprain, plantar fasciitis, or something more serious.

Question 10

osteoarthritis in knee and hip on right side, heel pain on bottom of right foot. physician assistant said there is no medications to help joint and bone pain and offered me cymbalta for nerve pain. what meds help osteoarthritis because i'm at a loss?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: There are many effective medication to address the pain of arthritis. However, it is not feasible nor appropriate to suggest medication without examining you. You need to see a doctor. If you live an area where there is a medical school, you may wish to see a specialist there.
Wish you good health!
