Hi Rajeshkk,
The problem which you are facing is not may be because of your raised uric acid level.
Another important thing is that your uric acid level is also not raised too much, it is just above the higher limit for the man. So from all this symptoms and slightly raised uric acid level gout can not be diagnosed.
Another important thing is that gout mainly involve one or few joints mainly big toe, knee, or ankle joints are most often affected. And apart from this pain is very severe and excruciating.
There problem you are right now facing can be because of some viral infection or other things and I would suggest you to consult some doctor and have pain killer for some days and see, if everything is Ok.
Thanks and take care
