Welcome to healthcaremagic.com. Sorry about your pain. Please note that a uric level is not congruent to gouty attacks. And if you have an inflamed joint, the only way to know what is happening definitively is to have the fluid analysed, short of that we are just guessing and a septic knee with infection can be very dangerous. So in short, have that knee looked at to make sure itr is not an infection. I hope that helps. Good luck
