Hello @writer99, Welcome to Connect. I think it's wise to be proactive with your health and look for natural ways to help maintain your health. There is another discussion on gout that you might want to read through to learn what other members have shared helps them.
-- What are the best ways to manage Gout? Diet ideas welcome: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/gout-1/
Here's some information on the topic of trauma causing gout flares that might be helpful -- "Injury to some joints, especially your big toe, can also trigger a gout attack. This may happen because it causes inflammation and attracts uric acid crystals to the joint " --- What Causes Gout to Flare Up? Foods, Medications, and More: https://www.healthline.com/health/gout-triggers
Do you mind sharing a little more about your current gout flare? Can you think of any possible triggers that may have caused it?

I had it for the first time about a week ago, but never before . I was very stressed then. It went away and then came back again in both toes after a sudden surge of bad news. The left toe is okay now, just a bit red. The right one really hurts, but if I stay off it, not so bad.
I had seen the Mayo Clinic list, but noticed that healthline conflicts some with Mayo. I go to the Mayo and Cleveland Clinic for health info. I eat a natural diet with mostly organic foods and supplements. Other than the stress of the news and a small amount of whiskey (less than a regular shot, which I haven't had in ages), I really don't know. I do have serious osteoarthritis and am not young, except in spirit! Thank you for replying!
