Mr. lybrate-user, Uric acid 6.1 mg is a normal level. That is unlikely to be the cause for joint pains. Main reason for joint problem is your weight. There is no reason to take Febutax as uric acid is not high at all. Mobizox is antiinflammatory analgesic plus muscle relaxant, should be taken occasionally. Only way to overcome joint pain problem is to make a sincere effort to reduce weight. Even if yu reduce by 5 to 8% it will give a lot of relief. That is possible by strict diet control and daily walking for at least 1 hour. There is no other alternative. Or else you have to look at bariatric surgery, which can reduce weight fairly rapidly. Thanks.
