Gout: The changes associated with gouty arthritis are , like osteoarthritis , irreversible. Diet and or medication , prescribed taking into account existing medications , can help keep it in check. Surgery to remove large painful deposits is possible , but circulation , health etc need to be factored in as well. She should see her podiatrist for assistance.
