Reoccurance of Gout In a Different Joint? Posted: 11-28-07 15:32pm
I suffered my first gout attack about a
month ago in my left big toe. Got Indo and
Allopurinol from my Dr. and it gradually
went away.
I stayed on my meds and 3 nights ago was
awakended by the worst pain I've ever felt
in my right knee. Its very stiff, painful,
and swollen.
Have you guys ever had a reoccurance in a
different joint so close between attacks?
I called the Dr. and he just told me to
keep on my meds.

Yes, six years ago I experienced an
overnight gout attack in my left knee that
really disabled me shortly after an
overnight gout attack in my right foot.
But I have had no more gout attacks for
the past four+ years from the time that my
sleep apnea was resolved.

Coping with gout,
Yes it is not uncommon. Have had gout now
since 1990. Doc gave you good advice do
not suspend taking your meds. Remember
with alopurinol drink lots of water. Did
the Doc give you any colchinne??? If not
you may want to ask about it side affect
of this puppy is stomach distress but it
does help.
