Does anyone have bone in big toe, give crippling pain if not wearing s

After 3 episodes of gout, I was taking both of those medications to prevent it from coming back. Now I'm only taking allopurinol to control the uric acid level in my blood.
Gout has to be one of the most painful conditions I've ever had to deal with.

Yes, back 20 yrs ago I used to have episodes of gout in my joints of my big toes !! I took allopurinol for 20yrs but don't anymore, once in awhile I get a twinge but it goes away. This not same feeling. But thanks for the reply!!

I agree that gout has to be one of the most painful conditions to deal with. I started taking 300mg of allopurinol. Now I take 75mg (1/4 tablet) for maintenance. It seems to work well, as long as I don't drink more than one glass of red wine. Seems like too much red wine will increase my chances of a flareup.
