It seem she is already in arthritic zone and secodarily even the uric acid in under controll , previous episode s of high level may damage the joint , once damage started even with the normal weight of patient arthritis may worsen with even normal activity...........get x ray of joints done and get beck I am sure she will be have bad damage to joints as history is suggesting......regards
