I'm a bit worried because I've noticed my urine is really foamy. I did some tests, and my uric acid is 7.2, and creatinine is 1.1. Also, I feel like I need to pee really often after drinking water. Plus, there's this annoying pain in my foot. Can you tell me what's going on and what I should do next?

I'm really worried about this pain I've been having in my kidney area. It's been going on for the past three years, and I just don't know what to do anymore. Along with that, I've been needing to urinate a lot more frequently, and there's this severe pain in my legs, especially in my leg fingers. It's really affecting my day-to-day life. Can you suggest what might be going on or what steps I should take next?
