Hi guys,

Blood work says uric acid is high - I got prescribed Allopurinol as a preventative. I bought it but not taking it rn because I've been giving my liver a rest for over a year now (trying to heal my liver).

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with gout in the hip? Where on your body do you usually get your gout attacks?
I've noticed my hips have gotten super tight, and have some moments during the month where my left hip is more painful than usual. I do a lot of hip stretches/hip opener poses and I started working on hip strengthening exercises at the gym. Also have episodes where my knees are sore but I think it's due to a past hiking injury... I usually feel the soreness before it rains.

Thanks in advance
