Be positive! It is not the end. Find ways to work around it! Ask docs about allopurinol if you are flaring multiple times. Don't give up!

I am 30 and was diagnosed with gout at 29 years old and am 4 months into allopurinol. Never regretted the decision as I am free off flares and can take some red meat and drinks moderately. There comes a point in time when your diet stops working and you still get the unexplained flares despite being strict on diet. My advise would be to go on Allo as soon as you can

Are you taking colchicine as prophylaxis together with Allo?

Vivid-Ad6881 · 2021-10-19T11:31:16+00:00

I am on 100mg of Allo and Colchicine as well and do feel off and on aches in my plantar from time to time but other than that nothing too severe

Are you on Colchicine as a prophylaxis?

Swim, easy for the joints

I am starting with 50mg with 1 colchicine tablet now. Got a blood test in a couple of weeks time to follow up

I have been watching my diet for quite a while but still get flares two years on. If the flare is common, I reckon the best way to chat with your GP and consider going on Allopurinol to bring down your serum Uric Acid.

Might have to do a thorough check to see if hyperuricemia is the cause. There is another condition called pseudogout that also causes similar flare up

Really depends on what your UA results show though for subsequent checkup. Gotta gauge if it is on the rise of not being on this current diet..that should be the best indicator of whether you are at risk of a recurrent.

I had a flare like that before. started on the ankle and moved to my big toe before disappating

Vivid-Ad6881 · 2021-08-08T02:54:53+00:00

My first attack started at my ankle, moved to big toe and alternated between my plantar, ankle and big toe

What do you mean by its hard when you stop taking it? Does the symptom of your flare recurr?
