Hello welcome to.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
High Uric acid levels may or may not be associated with gout and the knee pain you described. Medications are not mandatory at this blood levels.
My advice to you is -

1. Strictly avoid non veg diet and alcohol intake. It will avoid rise in uric acid levels. There are other dietary modifications required like avoiding excessive citrus fruits, curd, high protein diet etc.

2.Ask your doctor that you want to stop Tab febuxosatat, you are taking right now. He will guide you how to gradually reducing the dose of medicines. DON'T ABRUPTLY STOP MEDICINES.

3 . Do serum uric acid levels every 3 monthly. Next time you also do your whole kidney profile because damaged kidney may cause rise in uric acid levels.
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
