Suggest Treatment For Neck Pain And Dizziness
I suffer from gout and aches and pains. I have recently been taking allopurinol 500 per day and 20 mg of amytryptaline to ease pain. I have recently begun to get neck pain and left arm pain and muscular pains all over. The doctor switched me to febuxostat 80 mg per day. I also came off the amytryptaline as this was making me very drowsy. The pain has worsened. I get dizziness headaches (withdrawal symptoms from amytryptaline?) as well now and itching skin particularly the ears - I have a bout of eczema behind both knees co.ukand on the eyelid. My last uric acid test a month ago showed urate level to be within tolerances.
