I’m really appreciate the information. they are very helpful. When I said my diet was focus on lower uric, I meant avoid eating food that is high in purine. I do drink a lot of water (10-12 16oz glasses) and tea. I don’t need to go to urgent care yet because the pain is not as painful like other gout suffers described (hope it doesn’t get worse). Probably won’t take any drugs if it’s not needed. It has been like that for last couple times. The pain level lvl is 3-4. This is the part that confuses me. My recent attacks weren’t so painful. Is it normal of the gout attack?
Thank you for the quick response! I can feel the attack is coming. The toe is aching and hurting when I tap on it. Any good suggestion for preventing the attack? What I was confuse is that I thought my diet was to focus on lower the uric acid but evidently not. What are the chances of the test result was a fluke? Also what is the uric acid excretion test?
Yes, please go over the precautions best taken uric lowering drugs! When taking the drug, can I stop after awhile or need to be taken for the rest of my life? I have a podiatrist appt end of this month for the foot issue. Do you guys have or know a good diet plan to reduce the uric acid level?Just want to follow with an update. I took the Uric test 2 days ago and the result was 9.3 mg/DL. No attack, no pain unless I put pressure on it, or perhaps it’s coming. I’m confuse and not sure of what I’ve been doing is the right approach. No alcohol and my diet is mainly soy based food. Also been taking cherry tart extract and drinking celery juice. What I’m confuse is why my uric acid is higher now then when I had my first attack. Before it happened, I was eating high purine foods and drinking beers everyday. Perhaps, something wrong with my liver.
I was wondering if I need to take any inflammatory pill for my flare up. The big toe is still swollen but doesn’t hurt only when I walk or put pressure on it. This is a second week of inflammatory. If I don’t take the pill, could urate acid damage my joint or any future damage?
