Help i think i've got gout. what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk to your doctor: Things you can do are avoid high purine foods and beverages (google those on the internet) and stay well hydrated. But i'd have your doctor check you too. They'll want to test for high uric acid to confirm gout and discuss medication treatment options.

Good day, I have diagnosed gout since 2012. Most episodes last a couple of days with medication. Last month I've experienced gout pain that is not going away. With medication the pain disappears for perhaps a week then comes back.
