Hello,
The uric acid level is a little higher than normal range. The other examinations are under normal range. I recommend to avoid protein diet for a while. I recommend to take Allopurinol 100 mg to lower the uric acid level. I also suggest to using an anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen to lower the inflammation and the swelling. Cold compresses can also be helpful.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
