this condition is called hyperuricemia it is because the protien in the body should be metabolside so uric acid is the by product of this metabolism. the uric acid is excreted out by kidney normally uric acid is increased in the body . Take a diet with lesser protein intake. it can be caused becouse of less nzyme in your body which under excretes the uric acid. so you go to maintain strict diet principles go to a dietician and get the right diet you have a normal life if you follow the dietary restrictions as of pains. you are given pain killers and a medicine for long term called colchicine which you have to use longterm and keep checking thelevels of uric acid.

From your symptoms it appears that you suffer from Gout. High level of uric acid in the blood could also lead to formation of kidney stones, so consult a doctor who should be able to prescribe medicines to reduce your blood uric acid levels. All the best.
