Allopurinol causing problems ?
I went on Allo 9 days ago — 100 mg daily for a week, now up to 200,up to 300 next week. I have never had a gout attack but I did havesome mild tenderness swelling of the ball behind the big toe (leftfoot) about 3 months ago.
My foot/ankle (on left foot) starting giving me problems two daysago (day 7 on Allo - Just before dose increase) . It is not tenderor red, and there is very little swelling - but it becomes verypainful when I walk. If can’t walk without a limp.
I have never had this type problem with this foot. My uric acid was9.4 (8.2 is my high ref range) - hence the Allo.
Could the Allo be causing this ?
