Pain in Big Toe Joint
I have been experiencing a slight pain in my big toe and few other joint since few weeks. And the pain would last for just fraction of a sec, like in ankle while climbing step, and in big toe while jumping. I ignored it until last week when I experienced a very server pain and swelling in my big toe joint. It was all of sudden when I woke up. I initially thought it as a sprain, but one of my friend asked me to go for a uric acid test. Shocking he was right, I have crossed the max limit of serum uric acid level and it is 8.5 now. Please help me get out of this problem.
