Gout, Acute
"I&#039;ve had about 4 to 6 gout attacks over the past year, and I&#039;m 31 yrs old. Overall healthy, just like to have way to much fun, and eat real good too. That being said, the gout attack I&#039;m suffering with now was a Beast Mode of an attack to my ankle, and it&#039;s lasted for nearly week. At first, doctor gave me prednisone (steroid pack), that did absolutely nothing to help. Got a shot of cortisone in my back side, which didn&#039;t help either, since the gout is in my ankle. (in past, direct cortisone shot to affected area would do wonders!) So, I call the doctor&#039;s office after my pain has not gone down, and if anything its gone up! Doctor gives me Colcrys..says..&quot;SD affect diarrhea&quot; not on 1st day/2nd day for me...but it&#039;s a miracle medicine, Pain free."
