I had attack in right ankle 15 years ago. Dr. gave me shot of cortisone in ankle. Pain almost immediately was gone. He put me on allopurinol pills. Two every evening and cut down on red meat and wine. I am pain free now!! I strongly advise you to do same. Good Luck!

@gba I’ve been trying to cut down on sugar treats because that’s when I get a flare up. I was doing good till one night I had 2 servings of frozen yogurt, thinking it had no sugar, well I had a toe attack in the middle of the night.
After that I developed pain on the left toe.
My question is this: I take 5,000 mcg of biotin. I forgot where I read it but it said that I should lower the mcg to 2,500. Is this necessary?
