Hi guys and girls
i was wondering if someone could help me out, it started off with joint pain in my hands and wrists, back last august after two years of chronic stomach troubles which seem to ease and turn into hand pain, i had the diagnoses of rsi in my hands after blood Tests and mri scans done to check i didnt have arthritis, then slowly the pain has gone to all my joints 24/7 and have eased in my wrists and fingers. Its now quite severe in my big toes and knees. I recently had a test for gout that signalled high uric acid levels but didnt seem to have the typical gout symptoms i can bend my toes fine theres never no redness at my joints Just constant pain. But since the doctor has told me i have high uric acid levels my mind seems to have convinced itself that i have gout and that this is the answer to my problems. They didnt offer me medication as it dont fit the typical gout diagnoses and even worse still another doctor told me its probably arthritis but just not been picked up in any of the tests that have been carried out which has made my worry go through the roof. I went ahead and bought a uric acid tester so i can check my own levels which always seems to be quite high yet i dont drink dont each much red meat. I dont no if this worrying is making me alot worse and im hoping its gout ( which i most defo ain) or just listening to what the doctors have said has made me worry about nothing, any advice would be much appreciated
