Sir /madam, I get joint pains sometimes. The pain will be in one or two minor joints. Rarely I had pain in Major Joint like Knee. Very rarely I had pain in the big toe. My observation is I get pain whenever I eat High Purine foods. If I do not take High Purine foods, I will be almost alright. My uric acid level has never exceeded 5.0. One magic thing that occurs to me is, if I take 80 mg of Febuxostat immediately (that is within 30 mins) after eating High Purine foods, I will not get the joint pain next day. If I take Febuxostat after 30 mins of consuming High Purine Foods I am sure to get joint pain next day. My feet swelling occurs if I eat potatoes and sweet potatoes. Is it gout without hyperuricemia. What is the remedy for this. Ghee is suppose to be good for joint pain in general. But in my case, even two drops of Ghee causes, joint pain next day. Ghee almost acts like a high purine food for me. Is my condition gout without hyperuricemia. What is the remedy? How do you explain my sensitivity to ghee and potatoes.
