Uric Acid Level is 9.0
I had a gout attack about 6 months ago in the typical big toe.? It is still swollen a little and hurts from time to time, probably just a slight buildup of tophi.? however i have not had another gout ATTACK since then.? i had my uric acid level tested recently and it came back at 9.0.? the doctor said that is so high it's clearly not the result of just bad diet, but more than likely due to my body just not being able to break down uric acid level and/or my body producing too much of it.? she recommended i get put on Uloric and Colcrys to get the acid level down.? Do you know anything about these medicines and should i take them?? What about other options, do I have any?...
