i went back too the doctor again today he said high uric acid can cause gout, which i dont have. all my other blood tests dont indicate anything of concern too him ive had almost every blood test you can have ct scans you name it. its very frustrating im having few more tests done tomorrow pancreas levels and a test i asked for CA125. its a test for cancer cells i googled alot driving me nuts lol .. my blood pressure is perfect chest clear heart rate bit high he said stress does this.
im praying that blood work shows something or perhaps it is stress thr mind is very powerful and its all connected im really not sure what too think or do ..
hope u are well
thanks for your reply x

Oh Tanya, I'm so sorry you are no further forward. Bodies are a mystery sometimes.
i hope the test for cancer is negative though, I know when I had suffered for years and no physio or pain killers worked I thought I had cancer too, it makes you feel like that.
Have you tried Epsom salts in your bath and cumin on/in food as an anti inflammatory for a little relief, whilst they are investigating.
take care
Adette

thanks again for your reply i had some more blood tests today see what they come back as ... me too i hope i dont have cancer but the way i feel i must say is shocking. i went too see another doctor he said long periods of stress have an effect on the body which is true . im not quite convinced its just stress though although it could be possible. i dont think doctors are taking me seriously and im determined too get too the bottom of it. one way or another thanks for the advice ill have a bath with epson salts cant hurt .
hope u are good and well

If Mobic does not help it is quite possible you have PMR as NSAIDs tend to do little for the pain. If you have high Uric acid it is worth looking at your diet. An alkaline diet helps, fruit, nuts and veg. You will find lots of ideas with Dr Google.
