Topical Treatment for Gout

Is there any topical treatment for gout?

Foods to Avoid With Gout

I KNOW THAT THERE IS ALIST OF FOODS THAT A PERSON NEEDS TO AVOID , BUT IS THER A LIST OF FOODS THAT HELPS TO ALIEVEATE THAT PAIN FASTER AND CAN HELP TO KEEP THE ATTACKES FROM COMING BACK AS OFTEN. MY HUSBAND DOSE NOT EAT ALOT OF THE FOODS THAT ARE LISTED TO HELP CAUSE GOUT. HIS IS THIN, AND ONLY HAS A THIRD OF HIS STOMIC SO HE EATS A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF FOOD. MAYBE 1200 CAL. A DAY. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRIEATED.

uric acid levels

My doctor took me uric acid test and my level was at 110 is this high or is it possible that i may have arthritis?

FEBUXOSTAT

Do you have any idea when this drug will be approved. I can’t take allurpurinol and I am anxious to try anything. I get gout at least 2-3 times per month. It seems as if it never goes away.

Could This Still be a Viral Infection

I have tested “excellent” which i guess means negative for RF,ANA,CRP quant, H2LA- B27, ESR, Parvo, Hep B,C , Lyme , Hypothyroid. As you can tell, I am running out of explanations. I still have persistent migratory joint pain. It has been 8 weeks from my initial symptoms of pain in my wrists. No swelling, fever, fatigue, or hot joints. Just pain in basically every joint. Also my shoulders and low back are affected. My rheumotologist believes it is viral infection. I have read from your site most viral infections resolve by 6-8 weeks. Does this mean a gradual resolution beginning the 8th week, or all symptoms should be resolved by 8th week. What else could be causing these symptoms if not RA or viral? I am male, 24 years old. NO family history of autoimmune disease.

Migratory Arthritis

For the last 6 weeks I have been experiencing migratory joint pain. It started in the knuckle joints of my hands, moved to my jaw, hips and metatarsel joints. Each day it moves to one of these different areas. My hands and feet feel warm but there in no swelling or redness. I generally feel sick. My family doctor has been treating me for Lyme Disease for 5 weeks with Doxycycline 300 mg with no improvement in symptoms. I did not have the EM rash. All my lab test have come back negative- RF, ESR, ANA, Parvo, and Elisha. With these presenting symptoms what is your medical opinion?
