DH went to a couple doctors in the States and got testing/evaluations done for his elbow/joint/arm pain; but no one had an answer or remedy for the pain. It's been getting worse recently- to the point that he can't strech out his arms completely---can anyone recommend a specialist in Dubai?

I would recommend a visit to accupuncturist. A great one at TCM in Al barsha, next to MoE. Dr Pei He fixes all my pain :)

Most Gp's can test for it as its just a blood test for Uric acid levels. They will then most likely refer you to a bone and joint specialist for further treatment, so its probably best to go straight there. He went to the Bone and Joint center who have now moved to healthcare city. After seeing countless doctors, hoping one of them would finally find something that would provide some releif, the B&J center were the only ones who have found the right combination and dosage of medication that keeps the attack under control. I hope this helps, and I hope the pain goes away soon, I know how awful it can be, especially if it's gout. (which I hope it isnt)

Thanks Sabrina, where did your OH get tested? I have a feeling he's been tested for it since he's had blood and bone marrow? tests. Will check though.. DH is so difficult about seeing a doctor- I want to find him just one doctor so he doesn't get shuffled around.

A combination or condroitin, MSM and Glucosamine helps. It maintans the cartilage and joints and if often used by people suffering from Arthritis. Of course the pain could be all number of things, but has he been tested for gout? My OH suffers from gout and he says an attack is the most excruciating thing. A simple blood test can determine if it is gout, and if it is, there are a number of medictions that can help control it, but it will never go away :(
