My gout pain started disappearing after 4 days of taking arthritis medicine together with allupurionol. I took arthritis medicine for 2 months. Now am not taking it, but continuing allupurinon. Am completely gout free for the last 2 months. Hope this helps

Went to the Rheumatologist again for results. Uric acid level is 4.3 which is quite normal, am happy about it and already quit my diet.

Doc says I have arthritis. Prescribed medicines Takepron 15MG for 30 days, SALAZOPYRIN 500MG 2 tablets for 30 days, PROFENID GEL for external usage on inflamated area.

Doc also says my left toe is dislocated and the pain and swelling is due to this. I told, I don't want any medication for toe dislocation.

Told to change the dosage of allupurinol to 300mg once a day instead of 3 times(100mg each)

Pain on my knee has come down after taking arthritis medicines. So far am limbing a lot less.

Regards,

Charley

Updates..

The pain behing my left toe has almost subsided, darkish skin remains the same, swelling is still there. Started paining on left knee for the last 3 days, cannot bend it. Had enough went to a Rheumatologist today morning. Taken X rays for my foot, Chest (I was a chain smoker) and also did blood test. Waiting for the results on Saturday and I have to meet the doctor again. Doctor told that gout cannot last so long (3 months), may be something else. Any way I had enough.

Well, there was big swelling on my left foot. When the swelling subsided, the skin peeled off behind the big toe. Underneath was already new skin. Thanks a lot for the tips.

Hi All,

My pain has come down a lot. Still taking allupurinol and mostly on veg diet. Occassionally one or max 2 eggs in a week.

My skin behind my big toe is dark brownish. Already new skin has come, but its very dark brownish. Is it like this after an acute attack?The swelling has subsided, but still its there. Able to wear shoes(after 3 months)

Also am feeling little pain on the edge of my left foot (behind my small toe till back of my foot). Hasn't felt this on my previous attacks.

Regards,

Charley

Today I went to Doc again. He prescribed me Magnesuim for 20 days (Additiva Magnesuim 300mg for drinking with water) and Mobic 15mg. Asked me to continue diet for 15 more days 🙁

Hope this may help.

Thanks a lot again. I wasn't taking allupurinol so far. I believe the crystals must have got accumulated over the years. Yes, the doctor also told me that dietary changes have little effect on uric acid levels. Am avoiding Beer, used to take brandy (in night) 3 to 4 pegs everyday before the pain started. Am not sure whether its excess.

Regards,

Charley

Thanks. Worst thing is keeping away from Non-Veg and alcohol. Should I try taking Apple Cider vinegar also along?

[chthomas]

Am taking Allupurinol (prescribed by doctor) for the last 1 week. The pain increased, then came down a lot. But not cured.

Hi from Charley again,

I was under the impression that I cannot start Allupurinol untill the attack is under control. Maybe I have to change the doctor. But do you think it will do any good? So far I tried Colichicine / Steroid.

I am trying baking soda now along with Honey + lemon. No major changes so far.

Regards,

Charley

[chthomas]

Thank you. I thought the use of baking soda brought down my uric acid level, the body then took off the covering sheild for the coated uric acid crystals already present. Am trying lemon juice now and if not successful will revert to baking soda treatment.
