General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello there. I have read through your question and can understand your problem. Gout occur s due to deposition of uric acid crystal s in the joints. The diagnoses can be confirmed by synovial fluid examination. If you are diagnosed with gout you will have to take uricosuric agent s like Allopurinol to lower the uric acid levels in the blood. Also an anti inflammatory like indomethacin or naproxen will help to relieve the pain. You can discuss this with your physician. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write . Thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
