    If you haven't already seen a doctor, than it would be wise to do so because they can prescribe you the medication to do what you are asking.

    Gout is a condition where uric acid crystals build up in the body.

    Hi : I am a pharmacist from taiwan, so my English is so poor, Plz forgive me for that. I think your value of uric acid is sometimes over the normal range (>7.0), and I suggest strongly that you must drink water 2500 ml at least daily. It will good for your gout. You also need avoid the food of high purine. When you have an acute gout pain, there are some drugs you can try: 1. Colchicine : one tablet in the morning after meal. 2. Indomethacin (Indocid) : one capsule after meal, three times a day. 3. Allopurinol(Zyloric) : one tablet after meal, three times daily. After the drugs cure, if ur pain disappear, stopping the medicine at once. The gout can't be cure completely, but u can control it.
