Hi,
First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, you should get uric acid levels tested and Xray feet and lower legs as well as bone mineral density testing.
Using OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or Ibuprofen can be helpful. Topical capciasin gels also help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
