I started allopurinol and clochicine for a month ago.my toe seems to be fine/no flare.but my knee and elbow feel pain but no flare.why?

Mini flares: When you first start these meds for gout you may experience "mini flares" in various joints while your body is getting adjusted to the medication. Continue the prescribed regimen because stopping may cause a true flare
