What Causes Gout Flare Up In The Big Toe Despite Taking Advil?
Hi, I ve had a flare up of gout in my big toe. I went to the doctor and was prescribed some medication. I have also been taking Advil. This started about a week ago and I was wondering if walking or being active would make it worse or prolong it. The swelling is a little bit better but not completely gone.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
