High uric acid + Metformin

Messages

Uric acid.

425 it not gout.
My legs are swollen and painful I can hardly walk.
My CRP is 12.2 and ESR is slightly raised.
Bloods are normal
The inflammation was made worse when I had a heart scan in 2014. The radioactive dye sent Lyme all over till it set in the legs. Stop taking metfotmin.
Because I found can react with the dye.

Uric acid + sepsis.
Only its a joint effect not a whole leg.

Any idea.
NHS will not give me IV antibiotics for Lyme like most
