    Gout really sucks !!!!!! Painful beyond discription .Sometimes it is a by product of high blood pressure. Fast over the counter remidy is concentrated black cherry juice straight from the bottle .Couple of good mouth fuls is enough. Relief in 5 mins or less. Works for me no idea why but it does .See a doctor and follow his directions.There are food triggers that bring the attacks on . Do some home work on nutrition for this.Something called PURINES is the culprit. Just look it uo. Suggest A to Z Health Beauty And Fitness crazy name but a great site ,big help ,like having a Doc in your back pocket. Long and short of it is too much uric acid makes crystals that swell in your joints ,pain is unbearable some times .Once there you never want to go back . Good luck with this . Listen to the Doctor .
