Your experience in many ways is similar to mine. I was given Allopurinol as a solution to my many years of taking Colchicine. The Holy Grail was to be lowering uric acid levels. They did come down but not without Colchicine when gout flared. The I was experienced tingling in my feet and my right foot and ankle seemed out of control. I was diagnosed with Peripheral neuropathy and told to stop Allopurinol. Hence the Uloric to replace the Allopurinol. I still get gout with the new lower levels. But the damage has been done to my feet: burning and lack of balance due to not being sure where my feet are striking the ground. I went from a healthy 83-year-old running 5K races in 31 mins to being unable to run and just glad to walk poorly. Thanks for letting me rant.
