Hi

Thanks for posting your query .

Your soreness of muscles , shoulder legs back pain is due to combined effect of gout and overweight .
So control of gout is a must . I need to know what medicine and what dose you are on for gout so that I can adjust the dose or prescribe a new tablet.

Coming to your overweight you need to reduce weight by exercise and diet .

Exercise : Aerobic exercise like Brisk walking , jogging , running or cycling for at least 30 minutes a day has to be done . Just every 2 weeks the intensity of exercise has to be increased.

Diet : Avoid sweets , non veg food , Carbonated drinks , junk food , cheese butter , ghee and eat more fruits , vegetables and drink plenty of water .

Kindly revert back with your medication detail for further discussion .
