Please let me know how to lower my uric acid without allopurinol
I have had gout for about ten years or maybe more. I would get an outbreak once a year or so at first. It had progressed to an outbreak once a month. I just recently had an outbreak lasting 6 weeks. It kinda jumped from joint to joint in my right foot then to my ankles well it felt like my Achilles tendon I’m not sure
Anyway, as soon as the pain subsided my left side like my hip area started hurting so bad I can barely walk. I also have back problems. So I thought it may be my back. Anyway, I am affected in both feet in every little joint both ankles, both knees, both elbows, and my left ring finger. Also, I can’t afford the colchicine so I’ve been using indomethacin. But it isn’t working anymore.
And every time I take allopurinol I get a multiple joint outbreaks that last till I stop taking it. My uric acid levels are above 13.
I don’t know what to do! If anyone has any advice I’d really appreciate it thank you.
