Is there any med that relieves mild but constant pain?

On gout - when I developed it in my forties I was quickly shuffled to Uloric and then Allopurinol. My doc almost fell out of his chair when I produced triangulated research studies that indicated that both meds were associated with general higher incidences of death. I then turned to nutriceuticals including tart cherry, quercetin, tumeric, magnesium and others. Gout free since the change. Good luck on your journey. Nick

@nickmar46 -- I found the opposite: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4222989/#:~:text=There%20were%20654%20deaths%20in,2)%20associated%20with%20allopurinol%20initiation.
I turned to the the others 25 years ago at 42. I never went to the hospital after I did. I never had a full blown gout flare. However, that has changed at 67. PLUS --- there were all these OTHER things going wrong. the inflammatory reaction and pain which was attributed to OA turns out to have been caused by Gout Arthritis. I went on the tart cherry capsules and it lowered my Uric acid level, but it was still high. I convinced my Doc to try the allopurinol and my inflammatory reaction has stopped almost entirely! I can move my hands every day. The whole body inflammation after I exert myself when doing yardwork or extending myself physically -- ALL stopped. Maybe your uric acid levels and gout arthritis aren't as bad. I tried all the things you mentioned, but nothing worked. Only the Black Cherry, lemon and vinegar concoction I made worked. I am REALLY POSITIVE that the toxic inflammatory reaction, which is now not occurring after 30 years can only prolong my life in quality. Plus, my dad took allopurinol for 25 years with zero side effects. He had vascular heart disease and weak kidneys which got him at 87 after many years of heart disease. You'd have to show me some medical links. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4222989/#:~:text=There%20were%20654%20deaths%20in,2)%20associated%20with%20allopurinol%20initiation.
