Avatar n tn He went to his doctor and was diagnosed with gout. Since then, he only had one gout-like attack (not painful at all) on the toe next to his big one, and only lasted a couple of hours. He isn't complaining about pain or anything, thankfully.. but I am still worried about gout in general.
Male 0 or over for the past two years, causing no problems until now, I am getting gout. I have been on Allopurinol and had two rounds of steroids and within three days of being off the steroids my gout returns. I don't drink, or eat a much meat and have increased my vitamin C to 1500 mg a day, is there anything else I can do?

Avatar m tn I having been having problems with pain in my foot, its really bad and when it happens I can't walk. it really seems like gout but I am a vegetarian, I have been avoiding legumes and other foods known to cause gout, I do not drink beer, could there be other causes or could it be a different condition? It has been happening quite often these past few months...
Avatar f tn ) Asparagus has been on the list for ages, as has shellfish, small oily fish such as sardines and anchovy, organ meat, turkey and red meat. Alcohol is also a no-no. According to the gout website, only 5% of all gout sufferers are women. The test to determine which type you have is to aspirate the fluid from the affected joint during an outbreak. You may not feel this is necessary since the medication is the same for both but the diets are different.

Avatar m tn I have reoccurance of Gout every time I eat liver, liverwurst, cabage or spinach. I personally do not know about other drugs.
Avatar n tn Woke up with bad case of gout. I have not been taking my Allopurinol. If I start it back up today do you think it will help with the gout pain and inflammation? I am taking Ibuprophen and soaking in epsom salts/hot water.
Avatar f tn I was recently diagnosed with gout and although I do have pain in my big toe (mainly left, but also some in right), I'm having more trouble with my fingers - they are where the pain is worst and where I've got some tophi. How common/uncommon is it to have gout more in the fingers than the toe? I know it can affect other joints other than teh big toe, but just not sure how common it is and if it makes it any more difficutl to treat?
Avatar f tn The medication she uses when she gets gout is colchicine. She says that it works wonders and clears up the gout in one day.

107366 tn?1305680375 Have any of you tried Total Gout Relief? I had a coworker whose husband used this system to treat his gout. He says Total Gout Relief gave him amazing results, to the point where his gout is virtually gone! He says the system contains only high quality, all-natural ingredients which are supposed to clean and repair your system from the inside out. Now, my main reason for posting this message: I wonder if Total Gout Relief will work for my brother.
Avatar f tn My father has gout and it gets really bad sometimes. Is gout heritable? Could my pain be caused by gout instead of a stress injury?
712802 tn?1274645485 My daughter had pain in her big toe that moved up to her knee and is now in her hip. My first thought was "gout" but she said her doctor did not mention gout. Her pcp said she thought it might be arthritis and gave her some "Sulindac". She is also taking Flexiril which I have; and buspirone. I am not familiar with "Sulindac" and haven't "googled" it yet, but wondering if anyone had any thoughts about her pain?
Avatar m tn However, i have heard some people claim that it can trigger a gout attack since preventing gout is all about having a low protein diet, and having a high protein intake can increase your uric acid levels, on the other hand, some sources claim just the opposite and says its good for gout, since it is a dairy product, its protein is actually low in purine, like soy milk, and would come as a healthy diet alternative.
Avatar n tn i have been diagnosed by my G.P. to have gout, but my Orthopeadic Sergeon seem to disagree. Syntoms: Acute pain in both ankles and mid-foot area. The pain lays me off from walking for days. The pain is likened to having needles drawn in and out of the effected area. My sergeon believes i am well out of the criteria to have gout as i am 33 male, active and lead a healthy lifestye...... his ideas reach towards mid-foot arthritis?
Avatar m tn My father (81 yrs) has gout. Recently he is diagonised for BPH (Enlarged Prostate). He gets extremely painful gout attacks for which he used to take Voveran. But nowadays, when he takes Voveran, it stops his urination for about 12-14 hrs, which makes him very uncomfortable. Although we take good diet care of avoiding purine diet, once he gets his gout attacks, its a nightmare for about 4-5 days when he has excruciating pain & cannot walk a step.
Avatar n tn Hi all, I am a 26 year old male. I have had levels of uric acid & LDL cholesterol higher than normal since the age of 22. 2 days ago (1st day) I went out & had some beers (probably three glasses) and my knees started hurting and I could not walk or move well. I thought it was gout. I went home late & did not get enough sleep that night, probably only 3 hours worth and that may have prevented my body from recovering from whatever it was that attacked my knees.
Avatar n tn Hello~I am 53 years old I have been diagnosed with gout even though a blood test for uric acid came out negative. I have had terrible inflammation in my metatarsal phalangeal joint and the smaller joint closer to the tip of my big toe. I have had a cortisone shot in each. I don't drink, eat shellfish and have a mostly plant based diet. I do have hypertension however and am terrified that maybe I have hurt my kidneys because I take the lowest dose of hypertension medicine.
