    Hi Dave,

    I can tell you 100% that gout can last that long. I had occasional attacks over the last 5 years lasting anywhere from 2 to 7 days. This past December I started feeling it in my ankle. It moved from ankle to other ankle to foot to knee to the other knee back to ankle etc. it lasted until the end of February until I finally decided thanks to GoutPal to take control of my gout. I started on Allopurinol and Colchicine and have been flareup free since then. My UA level was 503 which equates to 8.46. I just went for blood work today so we’ll see where I’m at after 1 month of 200mg daily of Allopurinol.

    I know that I can have more flare ups as the UA crystals dissolve but at least I’m on the way to being gout free.

    As Keith said, you need to get your UA level under control.

    Good luck !
