In most peoples experience gout only affects one joint at a time, it is normally joints that get a lot of use, your big toe joint for example. Gout treatment means different things to different people, some people don't mind using medication others prefer natural treatments
They are looking for it to actually stop the gout attack when it occurs as well as provide them with relief from the pain. The treatment they use will be something that is able to effectively, quickly as well as safely remove the pain that they are feeling. But along with the treatment being able to do these things they also want it to reduce the inflammation that gout causes along with preventing the chances of a further attack happening in the future.
Today there are several different kinds of medications that are used for treating this condition but in many cases, alterations to a person's dietary habits need to take place as well. Ideally a person suffering from gout is required to avoid a diet that contains foods which are rich in purine and they also need to increase the amounts of fluids they intake. By doing this, they are actually helping to reduce the risk of the gout becoming any worse and preventing further attacks in the future.
However, as for medications to help treat gout the most common types to be used are NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), colchicines, corticosteroids, ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), allopurinol, probenecid and sulfinpyrazone. But of all of these, the most commonly used is the NSAIDS that will be prescribed by a doctor for treating acute cases of this condition.
The pain is gone! Now don't stop taking the medication, one of the biggest mistakes that people with gout make is to stop taking the medication as soon as the pain goes away. Your Dr has most likely given you anti inflammatory drugs and you must take the full course of these tables as they are designed to help prevent further outbreaks of Gout as well as relieving the pain you feel right now.
As well as the NSAIDS, another form of prescribed treatment for acute gout attacks is Colchicine. But unfortunately unlike the NSAIDS this form of treatment does not actually cure the problem instead what it does is reduces the inflammation caused by an attack and so it only relieves the inflammation or prevents an attack from occurring altogether.
Taking medication for Gout is not "one size fits all" , different people will benefit from different medication doses. Some people will have more pain relief if they just take massive doses at the time of their worst attacks, other people will take smaller doses monthly.
You health right at this moment will affect which drug treatment you find is best for you. Before you settle on any one treatment make sure that you discuss all the options and all the possible side effects with your Dr. - 15437
