Exercise as hard as it is.

You need to refrain from certain foods that contain purines if it is indeed gout. Beer, meats, aged cheese to name a few. I would go to the doctor to get a professional diagnosis. If it is Gout he may prescribe something like Allopurinol which reduces the buildup of uric acid,the cause of the redness and pain. You can search online for more in depth info but a trip to the doctor is you best bet because the pain could be from pseudogout which has the same swollen, painful joint symptoms, but is treated differently.

Fellow gout sufferer here. I hear ya on the pain. It's nasty, no? I've discovered that there's a ton of people that get gout and just are not sure what to do. So here's my information that I've learned in 10 years of fighting gout, and I seem to be getting it under control.

Best website I've found so far: www.best-gout-remedies.com.

For gout attacks, indomethacine and/ or colchicine. You'll need scripts from your dr. for these.

For the rest of your life, do these things: drink lots of water, 1 oz for every 2 lbs of body weight, each day. Once or twice a day, sip on 8 oz of water mixed with 1/2 tsp of baking soda. Helps the body be more alkaline (opposite of acidic) and get rid of uric acid.

Take allopurinol every day. Very inexpensive and no side effects, you'll need a script for this. Helps the body get rid of uric acid.

Take celery seed pills. These may help the liver not to create so much uric acid. For diet, stay away from things that dehydrate the body, like beer and coffee. Don't eat organ meats, high fructose corn syrup. Eat lots of fruits and veggies, cottage cheese, sour cream, plain yogurt in smoothies mixed with orange juice and fruit. Drink fruit juices that are 100% juice, V8 Fusion is my favorite, it comes in many flavors.

Educate yourself on foods that are high in purines, avoid these foods as the body turns purines into uric acid.

Good luck to you!
