10 Minute Gout Cure Explained

When a gout attack starts, is can become extremely debilitating.

The most effective treatments for gout are prescribed by a medical physician. These include colchicine and a cortisone shot. Cortisone is an extremely strong anti-inflammatory and can cure gout in as quickly as 10 minutes.

If you are not able to speak to a physician to get medically assisted treatment, you can follow these steps at home:

  • Apply an ice compress to the painful area
  • Reduce alcohol consumption which can trigger gout attacks
  • Drink plenty of water
  • Take over the counter pain medications such as ibuprofen or paracetomol

What is gout?

Gout is the name for the sudden extreme pain that occurs when there is a build-up of uric acid inside the joints. Often, only one joint is affected during a flare-up. The most common areas of gout include the big toe, ankles, feet, wrists, elbows and knees. The pain can be severe and very sudden, often accompanied by swelling, redness or heat at the site.

How is gout treated?

When the uric acid builds up inside the joint, it crystallises which causes the severe pain. The medication used to treat gout reduces the amount of uric acid in the body and breaks down the crystals. Colchicine medicine is a very fast-acting treatment and can provide relief from gout within 1-2 days.

“Acute gout can be treated with over-the-counter pain medications, such as ibuprofen or naproxen. However, these medications may not be suitable for people with certain medical conditions, such as kidney disease.

If over-the-counter medications are not effective, your doctor may prescribe a stronger medication, such as colchicine or steroids. In some cases, joint aspiration (removing fluid from the joint) or surgery may be necessary!”
