Avatar f tn You don't happen to suffer from gout, do you? There have been a small percentage of people in the Harvoni study group who have said that Harvoni exacerbated their gout. I have gout and at the end of week 1, had a major flare up in both feet and an ankle that crippled me for a month. I've had residual pain since then that gets worse after being immobile for a while and then try and walk. Just a thought. Hope that eases up for you!
Avatar m tn Maybe you should check with your hepatoligist before you take anything for the gout- I was told never to take Ibuprofen but that Tylenol was OK if I had back pain which became intolerable ( I have chronic lower back problems). When my husband had flareups of gout, besides icing and elevating the foot he drank lots of water and organic black cherry juice. That seemed to help him a little before they put him on daily Allopurinol.
Avatar n tn t already. Pay particular attention to the dietary and lifestyle changes section for managing gout. Best of luck to you. I know it's a terribly painful condition. Overview Gout is a kind of arthritis that occurs when uric acid builds up in the joints. Acute gout is a painful condition that typically affects one joint. Chronic gout is repeated episodes of pain and inflammation, which may involve more than one joint.
2062453 tn?1350332942 Thanks for the ibuprofen comments. Fortunately, I may no longer have HCV for that to be a constraint -- looking forward to my 2-week post treatment viral load blood test next week. Also looking forward to my post-treatment liver biopsy next week, whose results will help me determine how gingerly I need to treat my liver with drugs like ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Cheers.

Avatar f tn did dr rule out gout for the toe? because it sounds like that is what she is being treated for.
Avatar n tn The CT scan showed an inflamed kidney. The doctor now believes a kidney infection and has prescribed cipro and Tylenol and Ibuprofen for pain. After 5 days, the pain (while not constant) has not diminished. He often has the chills and a fever that runs 2-3 degrees above normal. One other (possibly not related) issue is that his pain is usually most significant early morning (possibly due to 8 hours of sleep with no tylenol/ibuprofen).

Avatar f tn Hello I am in the middle of an acute gout attack for the last 36 hours. I have taken 3 500microgram Colchicine tablets 14 hours ago (2 to start then 1 an hour later) but have not seen any relief at all yet, in fact it feels worse. Should I take more colchicine or ibuprofen? I'm not taking any other medication or supplements but have had some apple cider vinegar drinks to see if it would help.
Avatar n tn of joint inflammation, characterized by acute joint swelling, warmth, stiffness, and pain, may last for days to weeks and can resolve spontaneously. The treatment of pseudogout is directed toward stopping the inflammation in the joints. Local ice applications and resting can help. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen and others are often first drugs of choice.
Avatar f tn Take rest, elevate your limbs while sleeping, take ibuprofen if necessary. If the pain still troubles take an X-ray and visit orthopaedician for further assistance. Take care.
Avatar n tn Yes multiple times, I tried to get into a medical trial for gout medicine and they would not let me me participate because they said I did not have gout. I broke both my ankles when younger and they tell me its artheritis, I went to the mayo in scottsdale and it was confirmed, but the pain is to the point where I cant walk and I dont likeall the oploids prescribed for pain. I have tried everything short of medical marijuana and I am considering trying it.

107366 tn?1305680375 While your waiting for the pain to go away get on a veggie/fruit diet with lots of water. Hope it works for you too! *Warning: Colchicine (used since the 1800's) just went up in price 10X - which is because of an FDA created monopoly for Colcyrs - so I hope you have insurance - there are vouchers available or you can get old colchicine from outside U.S.. Also write a letter to the FDA to stop the corruption.
Avatar m tn And when I quit the indocin it seems to spread,, the pain that is .Have you ever heard of gout acting like this and for this long?
Avatar f tn I was able to get to the clinic, and found out that what I have is gout. My uric acid is high, and has been for some time based on previous blood tests, but no one thought it necessary to treat til now. I do have an old injury in that foot, in which I had an ankle reconstruction, so because gout is a form of arthritis, it loves old injuries. That explains why it is in my ankle and not other joints.
604489 tn?1220023514 m not sure my issue is caused by that particular disease. For the past week, I have had excruciating pain in the center of my knee that radiates to the outside of my thigh. This pain is on the left side of my body. I have noticed some puffiness around the knee and below it. There is no warmth in the knee or on my thigh. I've popped OTC painkillers like Advil and Aleve to no avail. I can't tolerate any pressure on that side, including when lying down.
Avatar m tn Also, check your shoes. The biggest issue for toe pain are our shoes. Having shoes with plenty of room for toes is important. If it gets bad, a corticosteroid shot for the toe will help most likely. Here's some information on this type of arthritis in the toe or stiff toe. https://my.clevelandclinic.
Avatar n tn But this time I am going to ask the GP to try for Gout immediately (VIOXX and/or Allopurinol for Uric Acid/Gout). I notice it seems to reoccur every 5 years. Advice appreciated?
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.
