You need to have an orthopedic doc look at you.  It could be gout arthritis, which  responds very well to a special medication for that. If you go to a general doc or try to diagnose yourself, you can end up half crippled from the disease. Correct diagnosis is the key.  \nAs far as diet goes, lay off fatty foods, alcohol.\nRN

reduce fat fast pills.\n\ntake a lot of water before every meal eat light popcorns or instead you could try celery \n\nAccording to Hippocrates (the father of medicine), celery calms the nerve – perhaps because of the high calcium content. It’s good on kidney and will help eliminate body’s waste through the urine.\n\nSome teas help to reduce that difficult areas how about Lemon Grass (Lemongrass) / Cymbopogon citratus

Cranberries, dried or fresh, and cranberry juice will do wonders for kidney infections or kidney stones. Most importantly, you need to be sure to drink lots of water and juices. Stay away from caffeine, too!\n\nThe absolute best thing you can do, though, is call your doctor and get a professional recommendation based on your own medical history.

Ohhh! I had gout only once in my life, from drinking too much whisky. PAIN! I decided that I wasn't going to have gout again.\nAnd I never have. My father suffered terribly, and 2 of my brothers also have mild gout from time to time. (If there is such a thing as MILD gout) Watch your diet, drink lots of water, and try what I did, I refuse to have gout again! Mental block on gout. Mind over matter.Good luck!

Change your diet.  Gout is caused by a buildup of uric acid.  Eliminate alcohol (especially beer), rich foods, red meat.

There are some low cost things you can do to get your health back.\n\n#1. I would try the water cure\nhttp://curezone.com/foods/watercure.asp\nDrink six glasses of water each day and add 1/4 teaspoon of unrefined sea salt to the water to start remineralizing and rehydrating your body\n\n#2. If you do not have Pancreatitis from drinking, it may be that gall stones are causing the problem. You can prepare for a gallbladder flush by drinking 1/3 teaspoon of raw unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar in 6 ounces of apple juice, upon rising, mid-morning, mid-afternoon and after dinnner, for one week. You can dilute the apple juice with distilled water, as I prefer. Dilution is especially recommended if you are hypoglycemic. The small stones and gravel will be removed and cleansed due to the solvent action of the malic acid, enzymes, pectins and potassium in the ACV. \n\nThen do a Gallblader Flush;\nThis method requires filling an 8 ounce glass with one part organic virgin olive oil and two parts organic apple juice. Add 1 teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar and take this mixture 3 times a day for the first day and 2 times a day on the second day. You may only drink as much apple juice as you desire on these 2 days but NO other liquids. This is not recommended for diabetics because of th high sugar content of the apple juice. Go to sleep on your right side with your right knee drawn up to the chest. On the third day, about mid-morning, eat a raw salad with generous amounts of ACV and organic olive oil on top. You can also eat lightly steamed greens, if you like. When you have a bowel movement you will notice tiny greenish stones in the bowl. Amazing! You may notice feeling nauseated as toxins, bile and mucus dump into your stomach. Should this happen, drink 1-2 glasses of distilled water and regurgitate, if you can. This will help you feel immediately better.\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=179&p=1\n\n#3 Give yourself a coffee enema after the gallblader flush(critical)\nFill enema bag\nHook about 4 feet above floor (on towel rack)\nKnee-chest position with chest against floor and rectum higher than head\nInsert nozzle tip into rectum, using lubricant (olive oil) if needed\nEmpty water into rectum, and hold inside rectum as much as possible\nMassage abdomen in counter-clockwise direction\nWhen bag is empty or no more fluid can be held, remove tip\nLie on each side for 5 minutes, while massaging abdomen\nDiscard contents of rectum into toilet\nRepeat until bag is empty\nhttp://curezone.com/art/read.asp?ID=33&db=5&C0=818\n\n#3 When you complete these cleanses, coninue drinking distilled water each day but avoid processed foods, meat, dairy, bread, sugary drinks, and diet drinks. Your body needs to have a chance to heal itself.\nhttp://notmilk.com\n\n#4 Eat mostly fruits and raw vegetables. Carrot juice has amazing healing qualities. So do blueberries. Eat or juice raw tomatoes, raw cucumbers, raw celery, raw spinach, and raw asparagus. Add Curcimin(Turmeric) to juices.\n\n#5 Vitamin C in high doses would be beneficial.\n\n#6 Get at least one hour of sunlight each day. \n\n#7 Get plenty of solid rest

Holistic healing does work, but you must change your lifestyle and be a believer.  not just say that you are a believer in God, but you must live and eat like you believe in God.  you must eat nutritious, wholesome, high fiber foods that come from their natural states.  try not to eat chemically treated foods.  get supplements, sweeteners and other natural foods from health food stores, farmer's markets and grocery stores that sell organic and pure foods.  eat a diet of high fiber, brightly colored fruits, vegetables, berries, whole grain, soy, foods and lean chicken and fish.  stay away from processed foods as much as possible.  pray and try to live by God's wishes.  drink a lot of green tea, red tea, and use healthful sweeteners such as Stevia and Royal Jelly.  Drink and eat a lot of green leafy type foods.  you can do it. but you must rest your problems in God's hands and let Him help you.

There are three lines of treatment. The first is simply control of pain, for which your physician may prescribe an analgesic other than aspirin. The second treatment is control of inflammation caused by uric-acid crystals. For this your physician may prescribe an anti-inflammatory drug. Alfalfa is a good source of minerals and other nutrients that help to reduce serum uric acid. Take 2,000 to 3,000 milligrams daily in tablet or capsule form.\n\n  When an attack of gout strikes, eat only raw fruits and vegetables for two weeks. Juices are best.\n  Maintain a diet low in purines at all times. Purines are organic compounds that contribute to uric acid formation.\n\nConsume plenty of quality water. Fluid intake promotes the excretion of uric acid.\n\nAvoid rich foods such as cakes and pies. Leave white flour and sugar products out of your diet.

The cause of gout is an inflammation in your joint resulting from an accumulation of urate crystals. Uric acid is a waste product formed from the breakdown of purines. These are substances found naturally in your body as well as in certain foods, especially organ meats — such as liver, brains, kidney and sweetbreads — and anchovies, herring, asparagus and mushrooms. Normally, uric acid dissolves in your blood and passes through your kidneys into your urine. But sometimes your body either produces too much or excretes too little of this acid. In that case, uric acid can build up, forming sharp, needle-like crystals (urate) in a joint or surrounding tissue that cause pain, inflammation and swelling. Crystal deposits also cause another condition, known as false gout (pseudogout). But rather than being composed of uric acid, pseudogout crystals are made of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate. And while pseudogout can affect the big toe, it's more likely to attack large joints such as your knees, wrists and ankles. For gout attacks, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) and naproxen (Aleve, others), may provide relief. Keep in mind that these medications can cause side effects, including stomach pain, bleeding and ulcers. What's more, NSAIDs have a ceiling effect — a limit as to how much pain they can control. This means that beyond a certain dosage, they don't provide additional benefits. For severe cases, your doctor may prescribe a corticosteroid drug such as prednisone. Although steroids can provide dramatic relief, they can also cause serious side effects, including thinning bones, poor wound healing and decreased ability to fight infection. Sometimes doctors inject cortisone into the affected joint, but this approach can still cause side effects, and shots are generally limited to no more than three a year. Once the acute attack is under control, your doctor may recommend preventive treatment to slow the rate at which your body produces uric acid or to increase the rate at which it's excreted.
