Gout Attack Symptoms
When someone experiences agonising pain in a joint accompanied by heat, inflammation, redness and swelling they are likely to be suffering a gout attack. Of course the first thing is to get a proper diagnosis from a doctor. If it is a gout attack, it has most likely occurred during the night / early hours of the morning, and most likely in the big toe. The majority of gout attacks happen in the big toe, but they can also occur in the foot, ankle, knee and elbow, etc.
Cause of a Gout Attack
The symptoms of gout you experience are actually caused by needle-like crystals that are formed from uric acid. They affect the surrounding tissue etc., thus causing the inflammation and pain associated with gout. Uric acid itself is a byproduct of the breakdown of vital chemical compounds that help produce our energy and proteins. Purines also exist in much of our food and, generally speaking, foods with higher concentrations of purines are associated with a higher risk of gout.
Mainstream Gout Treatment
Your doctor will usually prescribe drug-based medication along the lines of anti-inflammatories, pain killers and others to help reduce uric acid levels such as allopurinol. Although they can be effective, they do have some nasty side effects like cramps, nausea and vomiting. And they will probably advise on a low purine diet.
Natural Gout Remedies
More and more gout sufferers are utilising the benefits of natural gout remedies. They vary from things like herbs, natural supplements, vitamins and dietary changes to natural physical therapies, etc.
One of the most important is diet. As you saw above purines in food can help elevate uric acid levels, so it is advisable to change to a low purine diet by avoiding purine-rich foods such as, red meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, liver, heart, brains, gravy, meat extracts, etc. The list is long so speak to your doctor about a correct diet for you. (Note that studies have shown a decreased risk of a gout attack with an increase in dairy product consumption).
Another important item is to drink plenty of water. This helps the kidneys to process and flush excess uric acid out of your body. 2 to 3 liters of water should be consumed daily.
Which ever way you go, it's important to rid yourself of the symptoms of your gout attack fast, and, treat in a way that prevents your gout returning. Recurring gout can damage joints and kidneys.
