High uric acid causes pain in the joints of the hands, but has specific pain characteristics. The pain caused by high uric acid is called gout and is characterized by sudden onset of joint redness, swelling and pain, accompanied by a significant increase in local skin temperature and an increase in blood uric acid levels. If the pain is not treated with regular uric acid-lowering medication, the swollen and painful joints will return after a long interval. For hand and joint pain caused by high uric acid, you can take oral colchicine or erexib tablets for symptomatic anti-inflammatory and pain relief treatment.
