Hi. Am 44 years m, weight 85 kgs. I have been having pain in my joints for more than a month. During diagnosis, a blood test was taken which revealed higher levels of uric acid. Doc informed me the pain is due to gout and prescribed buxstat 40 along with a pain killer. While the pain has reduced marginally, I still feel stiffness and pain in my knees. Kindly advise how to reduce uric acid levels. Am a vegetarian with no history of diabetes / bp.
