I had attacks when in England,from 90'-2000.These over here are more frequent,and,don't respond to the treatment as well.Alupurinol,colcicine and diclomax would seem favourite but,I have a drawer full of them,my advice,and that of any doctor over here,..if its got wings, dont eat it! Chicken is full of URIC acid which is the cause, I suppose you are on a high drink diet same as me,lol, see what happens when you give the KFC a miss. Good luck. Tony from Pattaya

Registered Nurse here; Hun, I'm sure you are uncomfortable, try taking something for pain, such as: Ibuprofen, or E.S. Tylenol. Ibuprofen is a non-steriod anti-inflammatory and should offer you some relief.  Take with food, warm bath, while in tub, position yourself to be able to reach the area of pain, and allow warm water to the area.   If you have a shower handle and could run warm water directely over the area would be great.  Also If you have preperation H, although this is for hemorrides, it would greatly benefit this area, for it's soothing, and has topical anesthesia that will relieve the pain in that area.  Careful now, Thanks for the opportunity to address such a sensitive question.

you have made me remember a friend from 20 years ago who drove us crazy comp;aining about this condition i regret not being more understanding of the terrible pain she was experiencing at the time believe me the only thing that helped this dear friend was valium. if worse comes to worse try it because i personally witnessed a complete reversal of her condition when she started to take it,perhaps it works as a dental muscle relaxor or something like that i know the dentist here uses the valium for a lot of procedures anyway be well.

i took it 2xs a day for 7 days at 500mg. i guess it depends on the infection. mine was really bad and ended up going to my kidneys and i was in the hospital for 4 days. good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The person above me that said plantar fascitis is correct.  Anti-inflammatories can help, but if not see a podiatrist.  That person will give an injection of cortisone to get rid of inflammation.  I know many people that have suffed this condition and it is very painful.  Sometimes it can last for months and then spontaneously go away.  The above suggestions are good, including changing the kind of shoes you are wearing, orthotics and just good pain management with motrin, advil,aleve...good luck.

Get good shoes for walking, take whatever pain med you can tolerate (ask your doctor first), use ice pack when needed. Main thing is see your doctor. Good luck.

Allopurinol is what doctors prescribe for it.  Most people get relief with daily use.

I have not heard of it either. Sorry\n\nA good treatment option is also taking a combined supplement of glucosamine and chondrontin sulfates. They are both found naturally in cartliage and assist in protecting arthritic joints. They do not re-build the cartliage as this is impossible, but it certainly helps increase range of motion and functionality.\n\nParacetamol is also good for the pain.

I'm not sure where you are from, but here in Canada they have an all natural medicine called "Lakota."  It has been a best-seller for years and years here. I tried Glucosamine but it did nothing for myself, personally.  Within 2 days of going on Lakota "Rheumatoid Formula" I was virtually pain-free, it was unbelievable. I stopped taking it the past few weeks to see if it really was the Lakota that was making a difference, and the pain has returned so I am going back out to purchase some more at the local drugstore.  If you are a non-Canadian resident, I would still ask your local Pharmacist and check out their website.  I know how terrible it is to have an auto-immune disease, especially on a bad flare-up day, and I wish you nothing but the best of luck and best of health.

i dont know why it hurts, but a hot water bottle helps, also a hot bath, ibuprofen is better for period pain than paracetemol, try taking evening primrose oil, or vitamin b6, those really worked for me, i dont have pmt anymore too!also chocolate and crisps!!

Sounds like shin splints.  You probably don't need to go to the doctor.  You should stay off your feet awhile, and use a cortisone cream on them.  Take an anti-inflammatory med, unless you have any medical condition which would make that unwise.  If they don't feel better with 3-4 days of relative ease, go to the doctor.  \nIf you're going to play softball and tennis regularly, make sure you're wearing good shoes that are designed for those specific uses, and stretch beforehand.

Ibuprohen works the best for me. I can double the dose and not have any problems. Okay, my doctor said it was okay to double the dose! sheesh! Asperin doesn't do anything, as well as Tylenol. Advil is the same as Ibuprohen but costs more.

i broke my toe,twice and yes same thing both times..it happens..you probably broke it too. there is nothing the dr. can do, 'cept unless you are in severe pain, meds..but i suggest asprin...no treatment is necessary unless it's and open wound..but i'd still just keep it clean..and it takes anywhere from 6 mos. to a year...to grow back.

Glucosamine and chondroitin have never been medically proven to have any effect on pain or on joint health.  Vitamin C would do more good for joints as it is essential for the production and maintainence of connective tissue, i.e. cartilage and bone.  An NSAID would be the drug of choice for pain and/or inflammation.

"Almost all people with gout have hyperuricaemia (too much uric acid in the blood). However not everyone with hyperuricaemia has gout. Uric acid is a normal waste product from the breakdown of purines. Purines are found in most foods but some foods are much richer in purine content. Uric acid is normally dissolved in blood and removed through the kidneys. Hyperuricaemia is the result of either the body producing too much uric acid or the kidneys not clearing it fast enough." \n\nExcess uric acid deposits crystals in the joints, causing the very painful episodes. Rich purine content foods seem to be the trigger for the gout and a diet low in purine does help to keep things in check.\n\nSee the following sites:\n\nhttp://www.mayoclinic.com/health/gout-diet/HQ00765\nhttp://arthritis.about.com/cs/gout/a/foodstoavoid.htm\nhttp://www.healthcastle.com/gout.shtml\nhttp://www.raysahelian.com/gout.html\nhttp://www.arthritissa.org.au/asp/conditions_treat_gout.asp
