A member asked:

I have had gout in the past, i had an episode where my left swelled. doc took synovial fluid. the partial report came back saying no crystals were fou?

Some times: may to see Uric acid crystals from joint aspirations. You know you have gout , most likely your MD already gave medication to bring u a levels down. If you get very well hydrated you can avert an attack.
