What is the best for relieving the pain of gout, hot or cold soaking? I drop the big toe. What is the best for the relief of pain, soaking in hot or cold pack with the pack?
hot work or cold, my husband prefers warm. Are you on a drug such as indomethacin acute? After years of this, your blood must be tested again to see if you need to be put on medication every day, allopurinol. avoid beer, wine, red meat and tomatoes. Goodluck.
Use what suits you best! The toe!
Make a cold compress for twenty minutes, then make a hot pack for twenty minutes. The cold will numb swelling and feel better longer. facilitate the hot pain, but fast will not last as long.
Ni, gout is a metabolic disease systemic, caused by high uric acid, so you must reduce your uric acid have pain, all other treatments are palliatives. Its best to get the prescription for pain medication stronger. There are drugs in gout flares and another drug to prevent attacks. Consult your doctor about this. Also, check your diet, you may be required in a lot of food in purine.
