I'm really worried about this weakness and leg pain I've been experiencing. I've been taking Medrol for my swollen lymph nodes in the chest, with doses starting at 12mg, then 8mg, and now 4mg for about a week each. But just a couple of days before I was supposed to finish the 4mg dose, I suddenly started feeling extremely weak and my legs are in so much pain. It's been like this since. Any idea what might be going on?

I've been having this pain in my leg, and I'm worried it might be because of my high uric acid levels. Could you suggest what I can do about it? Id really appreciate any advice you could give me.

HIgh levels of uric acid lead to gout. Relief from gout pain can be achieved through NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), such as paracetamol or ibuprofen. The medication to lower uric acid levels in the body is called allopurinol (brand name Zyloric). The dosage of each medication will have to be adjusted based on the your uric acid level reports and active symptoms. Opting for low purine content foods can also help reduce uric acid levels in the body.

I'm really concerned about my uric acid levels because they're on the borderline, and I'm looking for ways to manage it through my diet. Do you think eating walnuts and almonds could actually help lower these levels? What other foods or lifestyle changes would you recommend to keep things in a healthy range?
