What Causes Uric Acid Deposits In Toes, Knees And Elbow?

hello I have symptoms of uric acid deposits in toes, knees, elbow and I have just had a scan saying I have problems on my c3,c4. I had a ligament, knee operation a few years ago. A lthough I do try to eat regularly and monitor my alcohol consumption, some days I cannot walk far. I am 49 but quite an active person who believes myself to be fitter than my years suggest and these symptoms come to think of it.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such symptoms could be due to gout and this need to be treated accordingly but first confirm the diagnosis, and for that you have to see the physician, some endocrine dysfunction need to be ruled out too particularly diabetes, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
