How did a get gout? i had ft surgery and pain didn't subside found out i have gout..how can i get rid of it?

Gout: You just do not get gout. It is a clinical condition of which the uric acid level in your system is high and settles in a joint. Most common is big toe. This may be where you had the surgery. If you become dehydrated or have too much to drink of alcohol this can precipitate. This can be controlled with diet and medication Best wishes. See your doctor

Gout: Gout can be caused from a number of reasons - some of which include alcohol, aspirin, medicines, and some foods (liver and other organ meats, sardines, anchovies) can cause high uric acid levels. Were you diagnosed by your doctor? Ibuprofen can sometimes treat this, but you may need a stronger anti-inflammatory. Call your doctor who diagnosed you to discuss further. BEst wishes.

Surgery,Medication: Sometimes the foot surgery will trigger the gout attack. Gout is NOT considered a surgical complication,however.Treatment is with NSAIDS,steroids or colchicine.After the acute attack allopurinol or probenecid for long term control.Lifestyle changes include limiting fructose-containing drinks, alcohol, meat and seafood. Your primary care doctor can take are of your gout. Best wishes.

Gout: I have also had patients experience their first gout attack after surgery, rare but happens. Gout is caused by an elevated level of uric acid in your body. This results in the uric acid forming crystals(looks like yellow rock salt) in joints and the symptoms are redness, pain, and swelling. Diet control can be important but many patients need to take medication daily to prevent gout.
