Gout, Acute
"Third day and it doesn&#039;t even touch the pain at night.  Never had gout ever before,  broke tibia and ankle, had surgery with 3 plates and 18 screws in my leg Nov 18.  Got my splint put on three weeks ago and the soft cotton padding couldn&#039;t touch my touch or it burned terribly.  Ortho didn&#039;t catch it and three weeks later fed up with poppin meds and getting worse, I saw my regular dr.  He instantly said, gout.  Took blood test, proscribed me this stuff at 50mg three times a day.  After the first two the first day, the following day it slowed nicely and I was able to go out for a few hours.  I am in a wheel chair at this point with the legs still messed up.  Got home and the pain was insane!  That was yesterday.  Today is tough, what do I do"
