Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My friend is exhibiting symptoms of back pain fever, nausea and uti. She has presented her self to the Emergency department at our local hospital several times and they send her home. She has been unwell for sometimes withe the symptoms coming and then going and then reoccurring. What are your thoughts?
In my opinion I think she may have a kind of gouty arthritis where SUA is higher than normal levels which happens with UTI, back and joint pains. It may occur with low water intake or high protein and salt intake meals thus increasing the serum uric acid SUA.
For now, I suggest more hydration, analgesics and some investigations for proper diagnosis and evaluation ask your physician. Please give some positive feedback if the information was helpful.
Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask.
Regards, Dr. Ahmed Aly Hassan
