The most common cause of joint pain after drinking alcohol is gout, but it can also be due to other causes such as joint degeneration and septic arthritis, in which case a hospital visit may be considered. If it is gout, a physical examination can be done, as well as a uric acid measurement in conjunction with a history of alcohol consumption. If the uric acid is significantly higher than normal, it should be gout. Patients with significant pain can take pain medication, such as Lupin ester extended-release tablets. If uric acid increases significantly, consider treatment with colchicine and other medications and pay attention to your lifestyle habits. People with gout should not drink too much beer or consume animal offal, seafood and other foods high in uric acid. Drinking more water and exercising more often can help reduce gout. It can also be caused by metabolic causes, such as the presence of rheumatic bone disease, which usually affects metabolism and the high purine content may be deposited on the joints, leading to painful symptoms.
