What Causes Constant Burps And Nausea Along With Swelling In The Legs?

I have been diagnosed as having pseudo gout, but they can t see any crystals, and I have other symptoms that seem unrelated. The main symptom was a week long bought with swelling in one leg. Then months later I had that type of problem with the other leg. But I have a symptom that comes along with it that seemed unrelated which is burping up stomach acid and nausea. Sometimes I wake up with a strong acid problem in my stomach. Colchicine seems to help although that s supposed to be for regular gout. At different times, anything that is sore or has minor swelling becomes worse, such as my wrist or hip. Cramping was also one of the main symptoms.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, gastric symptoms can be side effects of drugs used for other issues.

Using antacids like omperazole before meals and motility agents like domperidone can be helpful.

Fresh uric acid levels, joint aspirate, serum ferritin, and urinary copper levels, etc may be needed. A Rheumatologist review after wards is recommended.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
