It sounds like you're experiencing a range of symptoms that are affecting multiple parts of your body, including tightness in your hands, shoulders, knees, and feet, as well as bloating and stomach ache, which seem to worsen after eating. It's concerning that despite being on medication for high uric acid levels, you're still experiencing these issues.

It's essential to follow up with your doctor to discuss your symptoms and treatment plan. High uric acid levels can lead to conditions like gout, which can cause joint pain and swelling. However, other underlying health issues could also be contributing to your symptoms, such as food sensitivities or gastrointestinal issues.

Your doctor may recommend further tests to determine the root cause of your symptoms and adjust your treatment plan accordingly. In the meantime, keeping a food diary to track which foods trigger your symptoms may provide valuable insights. Additionally, making dietary changes, such as reducing purine-rich foods and increasing water intake, may help manage your uric acid levels and alleviate your symptoms.
