High uric acid heel pain

The high uric acid and heel pain are considered to be related to gouty arthritis, but the presence of plantar fasciitis, heel spurs and Achilles tendonitis cannot be ruled out. It is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible, through serum uric acid levels, imaging and other tests to clarify the diagnosis, and follow medical advice for targeted treatment.1. Gouty arthritis: high uric acid and heel pain, need to be alert to the presence of gout. If the uric acid level is poorly controlled, it will lead to long-term hyperuricemia, so that uric acid salts are slowly deposited in the soft tissues, joints and kidneys, triggering gouty arthritis, resulting in heel pain, which can be accompanied by joint redness, swelling, heat, pain and other symptoms. Patients need to take colchicine tablets, diclofenac sodium enteric extended-release capsules and other medications as prescribed by the doctor for treatment. In remission, you can also take febuxostat tablets to lower uric acid, while the diet should be less purine-rich foods, such as seafood, beer, etc.; 2. Plantar fasciitis: high uric acid and heel pain also require consideration of the presence of plantar fasciitis. This is generally due to trauma or increased stress, resulting in chronic strain on the soft tissues of the heel, resulting in an inflammatory response, causing plantar fasciitis and resulting in heel pain. At this time, conservative treatment is usually the main focus, patients should enhance rest, elevate the affected limb, avoid weight bearing on the affected limb, do not walk in hard-soled shoes for a long time. At the same time, you can give hot compresses, massage and other ways to relieve the tension of the plantar fascia, and thus relieve the pain; 3, heel spurs: high uric acid, heel pain, may also be related to the heel spurs. Mainly because the heel degenerative lesions caused by osteophytes to form bone spurs, when the bone spurs long-term weight bearing or excessive weight bearing, will lead to local congestion, and sterile inflammation, if the inflammation stimulates the nerve at the site of the lesion, will lead to heel pain. It can be treated with oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen extended-release capsules and diclofenac sodium enteric capsules under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time can also be local physical therapy to relieve symptoms, such as the use of infrared lamps to irradiate the local; 4, Achilles tendonitis: if the patient long-term overload sports, resulting in excessive use of the Achilles tendon, may cause chronic damage to the Achilles tendon fibers, thus causing heel pain, can be accompanied by swelling of the Achilles tendon, skin flushing and other performance, at this time and high uric acid is generally not directly related. It is recommended to take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as prescribed by the doctor, such as Nimesulide enteric soluble tablets, and also topical application of Fotalin cream.
