I have gout and have severe pain on the large toe of my right foot. My provider has placed me on 200 mg of allopurinol which I have taken but the pain is so bad I cannot get to sleep. I have tried rubs, soaking etc but nothing seems to help. What do you suggest?
Hello, As you have gout, and you are taking Allopurinol tablets, continue these medications as advised. Now in your case, it is an acute attack of gout, so most of the times pain is severe during acute attacks. For severe pain, you can take tablet Thine. I will suggest you to take tablet Debut after rheumatologist consultation to get early relief and longtime absence of acute attack. Along with that, give rest to foot, use soft shoes. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
