Brief Answer: Seems to be due to high uric acid level. Detailed Answer: Hello mam, Thanks for your query. All your symptoms seems to be due to high uric acid level.Your condition can be treated with medication and diet restriction. For this you may need medicine like zyloric, allopurinol and newer febuxostat. You can start these after consulting your doctor. Food to be avoided in diet includes –meat and poultry. The fibre in fruits, vegetables and whole grains may also help carry excess uric acid out of your body. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
