This mess hit me all of a sudden. Feels like I rolled my ankle and stepped on a golf ball. Can't move my foot. Taken 4 ibuprofen and 3 aleve. Internet says to stay away from alcohol but I am thinking bout getting the bottle out. Got ice pack on it. This SOB. Is killing me just sitting still. Y'all got any home remedies?
Call stockbridge he has it and might could tell ya.....
allopurinol , take it daily (300 mg). been there done that . hurts as bad as a kidney stone if it gets right . sounds crazy but squatting to duck walk will press the crystals out but will hurt like heck and the doctor said to soak foot in cool but not cold . do not use ice pack or heat . definitely no heat .
No a Guy that takes a pill
Works good for him
Eat dried cherries or canned cherries packed in water. I like the dried cherries best. Does work, had gout in my big toe and ate cherries and it went away.
x2 on the cherries;BLACK CHERRIES worked the best there is something different from a regular cherry !!!!don't know why but it does work !!!Quote:

Allopurinol 300mg 2x's daily along with Black Cherry extract daily... Once it flares you're pretty much toast... Black Cherry anything in massive amounts along with Naproxen Sodium is best bet...
Black Cherries make the body excrete Uric acid- what causes flare ups... I've had swollen hands, feet, knees and elbows... It is some wicked painful stuff for sure...
Naproxen sodium works well. Aleve or generic brand will do. Take two a day and it will not bother you once the flare up has gone away. Haven't tried the cherries yet. I'm only 31 and have dealt with it since I was 24. First time, my foot swelled up so much that I couldn't wear a shoe, much less a sock for three days.
I am still up and hurting. Have taken 6 ibuprofen 3 aleve and 1 lortab. This mess is for the birds. Seems like the more I hobble around on it the better it gets. Guess I am loosening up the inflammation. This mess has got to go. I am getting my hi teks today and going fishing Saturday with my boys. Bull on this
that is bad news . been on meds now 15 yrs . would come out of nowhere and last 3-10 days . go to doctor , once it is full blown forget the black cherry .
Once it flares, hit the doctor. I have had it for years and take allpurinol daily. The cherries will help,but it is slow to work. The doc can get you back on your feet in a day
eat hot peppers
Yea if it is that bad, go to the Dr. They can give you some relief. Good luck, hope your better real soon.
Got a shot of taradol. Medrol dose pack. Should be better by this evening. Whew. To h*ll with this stuff. Be on Sardis in the morning I hope.
:hesaidbout as painful as you can get. too much uric acid in your system. hope you feel better soon!Quote:

Doc told me basically take them til you get the squirts. takes 7-8 for me. then get on allopurinol. Now the bad thing aboput colchicine is they lost the rights to make generic and is now marketed in the us as Colcrys.. to the tune of 200 bucks plus for 30. I paid 49 for 7 one time and felt it was well worth it to avoid the pain. But bac to that script. My neighbor turned ne on to a Canadian pharmacy called Northwest Pharmacy or something or another. You will have to fax them the scrip and they will send a bottle of 100. I know in these times you have to be careful with bootlegs but this place seems to be on the up and up. Just they still can have the generics in Canada just not US. the colchicine works for me when I get a flareup. I missed the last week of duck season one year with gout. That had to have been painful.

X2 on the black cherry juice. It works. Not all grocery stores carry it. Kroger does or did.
Had a fellow that worked for me had gout and he said the black cherry juice seemed to work pretty good as a preventive measure. Like others said, it won't help immediately in the middle of an attack, but it might help reduce or prevent the next one.
