A member asked:
Uric acid of my blood goes high causing pain in bone joints.my dr told there is no cure for this and i have to take medicine all through my life.

Maybe: High uric acid causes intermittent episodes of joint pain called gout. Simply having high uric acid does not cause chronic bone pain. First, see a theumatologist for your pains. If you have gout and your uric acid is high, then seek ways to lower uric acid. For many, medicine is required but first confirm that you are having gout attacks.
