Nephrologist 's  Response
hello and thanks for the query,
well given the history I think the patient is suffering from gout with history of serum uric acid levels being high, and as you say it is wise to consult a rheumatologist and in Bangalore you can find them in multispeciality hospitals with Manipal hospital airport road, Fortis hospitals, sagar hospitals being a few.
take care.
