How do you treat with gout in feet?

How do you treat with gout in feet?My dad has gout in his feet periodically when he works in produce delivery (as a truck driver). He hasn't had it in months but it just flared up again. Any way to subdue & cure the beastly pain?

My dad has it also and he goes and gets some kind of shot for it and it helps him for months at the time..

I assume he has seen his doctor, but gout is a condition which is aggravated by high fat diets and obiesity. The way to reduce the incidence of pain involves weight loss and diet improvement.

as far as I understand there is no cure but there are studies people participate in for better meds for them. I have been told that caffine and salt really add to the discomfort of gout. I feel for your dad I heard gout is very painful.

He needs to cut rich foods down or out of his diet-gravies, mushrooms, salt, coffee, soda, beer, meat,
Best things for gout:
Cherry Juice or 1/2 pound of fresh or canned unsweetened cherries. Natural cherry juice works the best, you can purchase this from your local health food store. Make sure it is the natural, unsweetened brand and if it is the concentrate variety follow the directions with proper amounts of water to dilute the juice.
The darker the better. Any dark red, blue berries will prevent and reduce inflammation of the joints and will aid with circulation which is necessary to help the uric acid crystals that builds up in the synovial joints. If cherry juice is not your flavor, try Blueberry juice - it will work the same way. Hawhtorne berry is very bitter but will increase circulation as well as aid in inflammation.

You may also want to consider a daily supplement of 400-800 iu of Vitamin E and 125-250mg of Quercetin with Bromelain, 3 (three) times a day between meals to ease the pain and help with further gout flare ups.
