Yes, this info has helped.
I have had gout in every joint in my body for 30 years. I thought I had it under control.
I take alapuranol daily and have blood work done twice yearly. My last bloodwork was 2 weeks ago and my
uric acid was 6.2.
I am 67years old, 6′ tall and 190 lbs. I exercise daily and thought I was not a candidate for any gout attacks, until yesterday. My lower back hurt and I had a gout like fever attack. I thought I was not going to get any relief until last nite. I took 2 alleve and laid on the floor for about 3 hours.
I was unaware that uric acid would build up in the lower back and cause these problems until I read this site.
Thank you!
