Too many ????: First, generic Naproxen 500 bid, Allopurinol 300 qd, and generic probenecid/colchicine 500mg/0.5mg bid, should be affordable and greatly ease pain and attacks. The probenicid/coclchicine is a cheap was to get "colcrys.".

Consider diet change: Look for a low purine diet. You may be greatly surprised at the number of foods that are high in purines that could trigger gout: oatmeal, mushrooms, asparagus, tuna, etc.
