In most cases gout will normally, attack one joint only in the body but when it does it is often very sudden as well as being a very intense pain.

Gout is a disease that is directly affected by what you eat, if you eat a diet high in purines and don't take in enough fluids then your chances of getting Gout are high. If you already have Gout then your attacks will be made worse by your dietary habits.
When someone goes to their Dr looking for some Gout pain relief they are normally give some anti inflammatory drugs and sent away to see how they get on. If the pain continues then the Dr may try other options , all these treatments will be most effective when combined with a change in diet.

Then once they do, a person will be required to continue to take the medication prescribed for at least another 48 hours when both the inflammation and pain should no longer be present.
As well as the NSAIDS, another form of prescribed treatment for acute gout attacks is Colchicine. But unfortunately unlike the NSAIDS this form of treatment does not actually cure the problem instead what it does is reduces the inflammation caused by an attack and so it only relieves the inflammation or prevents an attack from occurring altogether.
