I have had migraines and background headaches for 25 years. Only recently (in the last month) have I had a few days where I did not wake up with a headache, or take aspiring all day through. I took aspirin an average of 2-3 times daily over those 25 years.
Now I have gout, and I am thinking it's because of the aspirin, but it works better than anything else on my headaches.
I haven’t seen anything more recent about gout and aspirin. I wonder if it falls into the category of “affects different gout sufferers in different ways”?
Certainly, you must always be careful when mixing any medications, be they for gout, or some other condition. Many substances affect how the body produces uric acid, and where the kidneys are involved, you can never be too careful.
Regular monitoring of uric acid by your rheumatologist is vital
Joint inflammation and numbness are often associated with gout, but so are other conditions. It pays to check with a rheumatologist then you can get the treatment you need.
