How to treat joint pain caused by high blood uric acid

Joint pain caused by high blood uric acid may be due to an acute attack of gouty arthritis, which can be relieved by non-pharmacological, pharmacological and surgical treatments. 1. Non-pharmacological treatment: patients with elevated blood uric acid should strictly limit the consumption of alcohol, animal offal, seafood and other high-purine food intake, regular exercise, moderate amount of water and eat fresh vegetables and so on. 2. Drug treatment: If the joint pain is severe, accompanied by redness, swelling and functional impairment, it is mostly seen in acute gouty arthritis, and can take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as indomethacin and celecoxib; glucocorticosteroids such as dexamethasone and methylprednisolone; colchicine and other medicines to alleviate the symptoms. If the joint pain is mainly manifested as asymmetric swelling and pain in the affected joints, it is mostly chronic arthritis, at this time, you can take allopurinol, benzbromarone and other uric acid-lowering drugs. 3. Surgery: If there are gout stones around the joints, affecting the functional activities of the joints can also be removed by surgery. If gouty arthritis leads to more serious joint damage, orthopedic surgery is also feasible. If the blood uric acid is found to be elevated, it is recommended that the patient consult a doctor in a timely manner, follow the doctor’s instructions to improve the relevant examination and treatment, and standardized diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
