I have been taking medication as advised by the doctor. The uric acid level is fully under control. But the pain still continues though much reduced. Why? I walk quite a long everyday. My food intake is limited and regular. I get enough sleep. Why then the gout persists?
Slowly I became aware that the real culprit for the gout pain is the swelling arond the gout affecteted areas. I changed the ways I daily massaged my toes. I kept swelling away from the affected area as far as possible. It reduced the number of flares.
At present, though there is not much of pain,, toes have become numb. Swelling is at the bottom of feet, in the curved portion.
These days I am trying to put pressure on the swelling whilie taking steps gently.
I am waiting to see the result
