What's the best way to get rid of gouty arthritis if pain persists after uric acid levels are lowered?

See detals: Are you talking about inflammation or just pain? Pain alone without swelling is probably not gout. See a rheumatologist to get this issue properly diagnosed and treated.

Consider NSAIDS: If uric acid levels or back to normal then you would want to make sure there is no other cause of the pain. Initially NSAID Indomethacin can be used to help the pain. Other nsaids may also work. If this doesnt help- sometimes you will be prescribed steroids. Call and discuss with your pcp.
