Gentlemen,
Thank you very much for your kind help and support. I really appreciate. I am going to see my doctor on Monday (2days time) for urine and blood test and further more discussion in regards to my gout treatment. I definitely will keep you updated.
Thank you once again.
have a nice and 'pain free' weekend.
hello zip2,
as far as my dad's gout treatment is concern, i have no communication with him for a long- long time. so i can't answer that question. but i know that he suffers from quite a bad/aggressive form of gout.
every time i get gout attack, i take diclofenac100mg. as i said before, i try to minimise the use of this medication. effect of this on me is unpredictable. sometimes it works perfectly and sometimes it doesn't or(takes long). that means again, (time off work/more trouble).
i have more-less decided to go on allopurinal. (provided my UA reading going to be/will be more then 6 or 7.) now, i am likely to get couple of more attacks when AP flushes the whole system in my body. what is the best and most effective anti inflammatory pain killer available in UK so that i can ask my doctor to prescribe.
thank you.
Trev,
thank you sir for your reply. as far as my dad's recommendation is concerned, there is no help or recommendations at all for (different reason.) i just thought to mention it to tell that it runs in the family. i think i have some idea from your letter on what step to take next.
now couple of question came on my mind:
my last attack was about 3 weeks ago and it was major attack and lasted for about a week or so. managed to pass it thourgh by the use of almighty diclofenac 100mg.(off work for 3days again, boss was not happy.) as i mention going on blood and urine test on Monday.
- what if UA level comes more-less normal ? (because i am not suffering from attack now.) and doc don't recommend allopurinal? ( i am sure i will have another attack later on in future. it is just a matter of time.) what do i do at that stage?
- apparently, vitamin C supliment is good for gout sufferers. is it ture? i have even bought 250mg tablets but haven't started to use it.
- is it the substitute of allopurinal?
- thank you.
