Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having gout. You want to know that what problems this can cause. In my opinion it mainly causes joint pains. Apart from it causes subcutaneous tophi which are uric acid deposits in soft tissue. Treatment of it is analgesic such as ibuprofen and uricosuric drugs such as fabuxostat. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
