Gout, Acute
"I&#039;ve had gout flare attacks since I was 27, I am 39 now. The latest one started a week ago and I took Tylenol and ibuprofen alternately, the pain seemed to subside but suddenly got really bad a couple of days ago. I went to the ER and they gave me some steroids and a prescription for indomethacin and hydrocodone. The good news is that I&#039;m able to sleep but the bad news is that the swelling remains the same, so don&#039;t know how long it&#039;s going to take to get better. I cut my sugar intake because that&#039;s said to be number one. Fingers crossed. Is it the hydrocodone or the indomethacin helping me sleep, I don&#039;t know. I have one more hydrocodone left, will see after that :)"
