When Will Swelling Of The Knee Subside After A Gout Attack?

My left knee became very swollen and looks like photos online of bursitis. I went to my Dr. who thinks it is a gout attack due to med history of this. I was given an injection of toradol. The pain is gone but it is still badly swollen. I ve been keeping it elevated and alternating ice and compression wraps. How many days should it take for the swelling to subside?

I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
I generally see many cases like this at my clinic.
such swellings generally take 2- 3 weeks to go depending upon ur immunity,tablets u take, and the amount of rest you take.
try avoiding over exertion.
You should eventually get back to normal in coming few days.Nothing to worry about.
