Probable sciatica: superimposed on your gout attack and you may required steroid dose-pak or cortisone injection of the area. Steroid therapy may work better in this scenario than NSAIDS. I suggest talking to your treating physician or obtain a second opinion.

Joint pain, inflammation and redness in my left big toe joint. Initially thought it to be a progressive running injury, but suspect gout. Voltaren and cataflam have helped reduce the symptoms, but after being off them for a day, the pain and swelling returns.

I've had this burning pain near my big toe for the past 3 days. Can a gout attack appear out of the blue in men under 50 who are otherwise healthy?
