    Thank you for your answer nobody.

    My uric acid tests in the past year are:

    January 2017: 17.4
    May 2017: 10.0
    March 2018: 10.0

    The last one (March 2018) is when I had my bad ankle/foot issue (still have it) and that lead the doctor to prescribe me Allopurinol.

    Uric Acid level of 10.0

    Hi. Hoping to get some answers.

    I was just tested for Uric Acid after my foot/ankle has been hurting for a month when I walk.

    The results came back 10.0 and my doctor prescribed 100ย mg of allopurinol.

    I just have two questions:

    1) Is 10.0 really that high that I need to take medicine (allopurinol)?

    2) Another doctor friend told me to be careful because allopurinol will break down the crystals in my body and could form a kidney stone. Is this true???

    3) How long will allopurinol take to lower my levels to normal?

    Thank you.
