M/45/not overweight, generally active. So I have had gout and been on Allo for a couple of years. Untreated my UA was over 9, then on 200 mg it was down to 6.4, so my Dr recently upped it to 300 mg.
My pain which had commonly been in my ankle, was well managed at 200 Mg, until 2 months ago when I broke/sprained that ankle, which caused an awful gout and inflammation flareup about 3 days after the break, which would come and go for about 4 weeks while it healed and while I couldn't exercise. Then about the time that pain went away, I got a swelling on the tip of my elbow, and it hurts to rest weight on it. At first it was warm but now its just swollen and tender. I thought the gout had moved to my elbow, but my uncle (an MD, but not my Dr) thinks its Busitus. Its been there for 2.5 weeks and hasn't changed much. I also think I might have banged my elbow into a door jamb right before it started.
How can this be treated and what kind of Dr should I see (if at all)?
