My gout was just diagnosed, but my uric acid levels have been over 7 for 10+ years. Current levels are 10.6 mg/dL.
Have family history, dad and uncle, I have kidney function issues, recent weight gain, and injury that seemed to cause flare first in ankle, then in toe.
Dr. took me off of diuretic for High BP.
I want to lose weight to help, but fear a flare. Is there a safe way to exercise?
The key to losing weight with gout is to do it gradually. It’s amazing how soon you notice a difference if you just lose two or three pounds a week. Weight is much more likely to stay off if you do it this way. Aim for improving habits that will stay with you rather than rapid weight loss that causes more harm than good.
I recommend you login, and add your height and weight to your personal gout profile, together with the facts about your gout that you have shared here. Then ask for more safe ways to exercise with gout, once we have more relevant facts. If you don’t want to login, you can still keep your personal gout profile in your own records. Just be sure to include the important facts in your questions.
