A form of arthritis characterised by severe pain, redness and tenderness in joints.
Pain and inflammation occur when too much uric acid crystallises and deposits in the joints.
Attacks can come suddenly, often at night.
During an acute attack, anti-inflammatory medications (such as
ibuprofen) can help relieve pain and shorten the length of the attack.

Uric acid passes through your body via your urine.
Drink 8 glasses of water or more a day.
My foot flared up, then I did chin ups and got in the shower and it went down. Burnt Iron/Protien?
Ballarat doc said it’s from too much protein from nuts. But nuts are good for Gout, (It could be salt thats dehydrating and bad for Gout, not the protein)
Prescribed Medication:
Lesinurad (Zurampic) helps your body get rid of uric acid when you pee. Pegloticase (Krystexxa) breaks down uric acid. Probenecid helps the kidneys excrete uric acid from your body.
