Brief Answer:
Get the blood uric aside levels measured!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have reviewed your symptoms and this might be suggestive of a possible gout. I will like to see your blood uric acid levels measured first. Hold on with ARAVA and lets get the result of this test before proceeding with treatment.

I hope to hear back from you. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
