You're a glutton for punishment.
Most people don't realize the pain involved in a full fledged gout attack.
Ibuprofen works a little bit.(4 times the usual dose)
Indomethacin (prescription) works much better.
I now take Allopurinol (prescription) once a day to keep the uric acid in balance. It works very well.
Let me rephrase that.
Doc is not open for instant appts. and tommarrow is the only day I have this week to not pack up the quad son IOW if I dont feel better in the A.M. with these home remedies I will go to Urgent Care.
But I have to be able to walk enough to drive to urgent care.
Me and the quad son share a room so he is just steps away for care.
As you well know gout is the creepy guy that you wake up with it doesnt usually give much window of warning.
