I hope you are taking the colchicine to help you during the first few months of uric acid lowering treatment. If that is the case, have you tried a combination of gout strength NSAID (ibuprofen, naproxen, indomethacin etc.) with an analgesic such as Tylenol (paracetamol)? That always worked for me, and has been recommended by several doctors, both in and out of hospital. Nothing beats a good combo, though I have also had excellent results with colchicine.
