Gout problems plague men in their 40s. If you ever had gout you will know that 1 tablet of cholcocine can cure your gout in 60 secs. Attacks may recur after 6 months, and the second attack can be resolved in 120 seconds again with cholcocine.
Problem with gout is that the attacks will recur more frequently and slowly start to get chronic. What started out as 2 attacks a year will grow to 3, 4, 5, 6. And each attack will last longer then the previous. From a few seconds to a few days to few weeks. Where 1 Cholcocine tablet used to help, now we need to take 8 to 20 tablets just to clear the acute pain that appear at the feet, elbows, feet, knees. Nsaids can stop working and even cause gastric pain.
Some people are lucky. They simply take 1 tablet of allupurinol every day and drink alot of water and this prevents gout attacks. Other men who are not so fortunate and have had gout for 5 years start to experience having tophi. They may think of operating on these tophi because tophi formation can get in the way of joint movement. A large tophi, which is a solidified deposit of uric acid on your ankles, can sometimes restrict your full range of ankle motion, such that you may start walking semi flat footed.
Most doctors would rather allow the tophi to dissolve naturally through oral medication, such as 3 or even 5 tablets of allupurinol and drink at least 8 glasses of water. Operations can lead to complications. Drinking at least 8 glasses of water is important because it prevents the uric acid from re-solidying as kidney stones. You may not feel discomfort when stones form in the kidneys because they float in suspension. Its only when they migrate and clog up the tracts do we start to experience pain.
There are many remedies floating around to cure gout, from cranberry juice to exercise and weight control. For more information and solutions on how to cure gout, a disease that cripples and leaves you crawling on the floor... visit: http://www.gouttophi.blogspot.com
