Hi. I’m new here. Please help. I’m one 2 meds for gout, and have been in pain for over a month. I’m a vegetarian and also eat gluten free due to celiac disease so my pcp thinks its hereditary.
I’ve had blood work done, although I don’t know the results of my uric acid levels. I don’t know what else to do. I’m still in a lot of pain. In addition to working and taking care of my family, I am doing a play that happens to open this weekend. Should I wrap my big toe?Oh sara, I’m so sorry I missed your post. I always recommend that you login before you post. It is not a requirement, but it does help you.
When you login and post, your post is linked to your personal gout profile. That helps you to keep track of your gout progress. It also allows other people to check your personal gout facts before they respond to you. We can all make our responses more relevant when people login and add gout facts to their profile.
The other advantage of being logged in when you post is that I get a notification so I can respond quickly. I don’t get that for non-member posts, so I often miss them.
I hope it’s not too late to respond to you. I’ll be back soon with some relevant information.
sara, it is always a good idea to keep gouty joints wrapped and warm.
I’d like to offer more help, but I need a bit more information.
You should have your blood test results by now. What is your uric acid level? Please give the exact number and unit of measure.
Can you give me the exact names of the 2 gout meds, and tell me what dose you take, and how long you’ve been taking them.
