    Hello. I've been having off and on attacks for the last year. Since I started taking Uloric, I've had nothing but problems, and I don't know if it's related. I was unable to walk for a MONTH. The swelling was unbelievable in my knee and foot. I was seriously thinking it was an old ACL injury. Finally got a MRI and it revealed severe cartilage damage in my knee, from previous soccer years, and a fall I took years ago. Fast forward to being able to walk a bit, but now seem to be in the throes of another gout attack. Foot is swollen like a sausage. Been doing plenty of dairy, cherry juice, NOTHING works anymore.

    They have me on Celebrex and Uloric. Anyone else have problems with these?

    Please check your SUA numbers, if they are above 6 they are prone to promote a never ending attack. Check with your doctor for the correct Uloric dose and be sure that your numbers are below 5, also ask for a Rx for colchicine (my Dr. gave me colchicine for the first year, 2 pills daily).

    I would ask your doc about colchicine.? It's really made a difference in knocking down a misreable month-long attack.? Two pills a day are really helping me without causing any stomach problems.
