12. Newcomer in the Old City, New Times
Recently, I have either knee pain or elbow pain, and this has been going on for almost a month. Hospital tests for rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis are both negative, and there is no calcium deficiency. However, my uric acid level is 140 higher than normal. The doctor says I might have gout, but after taking medication for a few days, the pain has not improved. What could be the reason?
A: High uric acid can cause such symptoms, as it tends to settle at the bottom and usually leads to pain in the toes and ankles. Since your pain is in both knees and both elbows, the first thing to consider is degenerative osteoarthritis. At the same time, because your uric acid level is high, it is also necessary to consider the possibility of both conditions occurring simultaneously.
