Related?: Be sure that your weight loss is due to gout. This is an unusual finding in those suffering from gout. Check with your primary care doctor - a consult with a rheumatologist may also be in order.

GET BETTER TREATMENT: Chronic gouty arthritis says that you are severely under treated. You need active arthritis treatment with nonsteroidal meds such as indomethicin and colchicine, and simultaneous lowering of the uric acid with meds such as allopurinol, uloric or even krystexxa (pegloticase). See a rheumatologist soon.
