Read up on it. Adjust your diet and exercise regularly. You might need to cut out the stuff that causes the attacks. For me it is too much yeast - no beer sadly or bread. Anyway I have learned by trial and error and have not had a problem for quite a while now...famous last words!

I take alluporinal. Used to get gout in my foot. Haven't had it for years and lately have started taking the tablet once every two or three days instead of one a day.
These past few days I have developed a terrible pain in my knee, the inside of my right knee and I think it's gout. Never had gout in my knee before.
Anyone know best painkiller I can take. ?
I am taking the alluporinal each day now but the pain hasn't receded.

500mgc of paracetamol x2.
 
Inside of a knee could be cartliege

Or a build up of fluid, over time, which can be drained off

Don't take aspirin ,they increase the uric acid.
 
I got it really bad. Polyarticular tophaceus gout. Basically had it in nearly all my joints and I was getting chalky lumps (tophi) all over my body.

Been on 600mg allopurinol for about a year now and no real issues. Diclofenac was my painkiller of choice during an attack.
