Detailed Answer:
Hi there
Thanks for the query
High Uric acid crystals in the joint can cause severe arthritis or joint damage like your big toe joint.
This is called Gout.
Next time you get an attack of Gout, it is better to get the fluid from the joint sent for testing for the crystals. Once it is confirmed, we can start the relevant therapy.
As of now, avoid alcohol, meat of all kinds, avocado. Drink 2-3 litres of water daily.
Blood tests need to be done to look for your kidney function and Uric acid excretion capacity. If it is less, then another medicine may need to be started to help excrete the excess Uric acid.
Please upload your reports if possible for my opinion as well.
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
