The 54 -year -old Ms. Xiong (Hua surname) found gout 4 years ago. After taking the medicine, the pain worsened, and she stopped her own medicine.

Ms. Xiong's feet

Four years ago, Ms. Xiong's hands and feet were red and swollen. After consulting in the local hospital, she was diagnosed with hyperuricemia and gout. The doctor told the diet and prescribed oral medications for him. After taking the medicine, Ms. Xiong's symptoms were not immediately relieved. Ms. Xiong, who was unbearable, simply stopped the medicine by herself, and relied on hormone drugs to relieve the pain every time she had a pain. Although the pain was controlled, Ms. Xiong's hands and feet were swollen every day.

On the morning of August 20th, Ms. Xiong felt sleepy and weak. After visiting the nephrology of the Fourth Hospital of Wuhan, the doctor found that Ms. Xiong's creatinine and uric acid were far higher than normal values.

Because Ms. Xiong's hyperuricemia is not regularly treated, in addition to the severe damage to her kidney function, uric acid crystals deposited in the hands and foot joints have formed huge gout stones. At this time, Ms. Xiong's hands were almost unable to bend normally. The gout stones of the duck eggs at the front of her feet made her feet look like a "stone ball", and the gout stones almost "broke out".

According to Director Fang Zhenhua, the second ward of the ankle surgery of the hospital, the gout stones on Ms. Xiong's feet have caused bone destruction, joint malformations and dysfunction, and need to be eliminated through surgery.
