Gout is extremely painful! Have dr do a uric acid level by having a blood test which if high will confirm
I got a special boot for foot to wear cause it was so bad I am on allopurinol for gout and during flares have prescription strength anti inflammatory to take and also Colchicine which is last resort drug and dangerous finally I asked to see a nutritionist who gave me all the foods I need to not eat and since following the diet I have not had a flare up
