Question 1

how do i ease gout pain in my foot?

Accepted Answer

Anti inflammatories: A podiatrist or rheumatologist could give you an injection if the pain is unbearable....

Question 2

can gout pain effect your whole foot? i keep getting flair ups as i call them cause they come & go but the pain is almost horrible & its hard to wlk

Accepted Answer

No: Gout is extremely unlikely in a 28 year old female. In addition, it usually involves the base of the first toe. See a rheumatologist. Your foot issue is likely due to another cause, not gout.

Question 3

i have a hard nodule that protude 3cm from by ankle, it is the size of a r5 coin, and has been growing for a couple months, there has been no pain until 2 weeks ago. the pain moves up my leg. the pain is not consistent with gout pain. it is sharp?

Accepted Answer

X ray: An imaging  study is indicated. The lesion may be benign, but a malignancy should be ruled out.

Question 4

hi

i am a 43 year old male. my gout episodes were occasional and not severe however a few weeks ago i injured my foot and the gout pain (i assume) on the inside of my right foot has become unbearable at times. whats the best plan of treatment?

Accepted Answer

Simple or intense tx: Treatments vary, I assume you were diagnosed by a health care professional, if not then nsaids(ibuprofen, aspirin or naprosyn) and a lot of fluids until you can be seen.  Elevation may help but otherwise you need to be examined by a professional.

Question 5

gout pain attack?

Accepted Answer

Can take : Colchicine when attacks are acute, antiinflammatories, warm water soaks and at times injection into the region.

Question 6

from two weeks i hsve gout pain?

Accepted Answer

Start treatment: If you continue to have active gout, it needs to be treated. Attacks that long-standing i find are best treated with a tapering course of prednisone. See a doctor.

Question 7

i have been using tylenol 2 for gout pain relief - will statex ( 5 mg ) be more helpful?

Accepted Answer

NO: morphine is not a drug of choice for gout: I would suggest colchicine and/or a prednisone dose pack over 6 days.
Narcotics are not helpful: you need antiinflammatory medication.

Question 8

after taking homeopathic medicine...my gout pain stopped but swelling still there..does it mean it has cured or still should i continue restricteddiet?

Accepted Answer

Not Cured: Keep on your diet. Homeopathjc meds are of questionable value.The pain of acute can gout can be severe but if it works for you,no harm.

Question 9

i'm suffering uric acid issue for the past 8 yrs. i used to take allupurinol tablets 300mg for 1 month followed by 100 mg for 2 months, then my uric acid level gets reduced. after stopping medication for 2 months again level increases and gout pain.

Accepted Answer

Uric acid: It sounds like you may need a maintenance dose of allopurinol in the range of 100-300 mg. As of now there are very clear indications for maintenance therapy in gout and your doc or rheumatologist should be able to clarify based on specifics pertaining to your condition.

Question 10

please tell me what is good for gout pain?

Accepted Answer

See details: Nsaids, a short course of Prednisone or a cortisone injection of the involved join. The best treatment is taking taking a med to normalize your uric acid level and prevent future attacks. See a rheumatologist.
