I have experience joint pain of this type for over 10 years. I finally found a specialist (rheumatologist) that was able to help. My local doctors would only prescribe opioids for the pain, but nothing for the symptoms. I got on Uloric (febuxostat) at 60 mg per day, along with 0.6 mg of Colchicine and that has kept the pain away for almost 2 years now (2 years in April). I was diagnosed with too much Uric Acid and the Uloric (Febuxostat) helps to keep the uric acid levels down. Colchicine helps to prevent the inflammation. They think that I'll be able to drop the Colchicine soon, just took some time to get my acid levels down with the Uloric.
Good luck!
