Gout: If you have something other that gout, Colchicine will not help, 3x per week may not be enough. Your doctor can try naprosyn (naproxen) if you can tolerate it. Is you toe firery red hot?

Pain: Colchicine is really not a designed for long term use. If you still have pain either it is not enough Colchicine or it is not gout - which is what i suspect. Get back to your podiatrist for assistance.
