The best way to get rid of this is:
Apple cider vinegar drink a glass of it and keep drinking plenty of Alkaline Water,  Drink at least 3 littler of water a day water, keep drinking water and once its gone go to your doctor and get plenty of Allopurinol tablets, you just have to take these tablets for the rest of your life and change your diet.

Was tested for it at weekend in hospital as I've been having bad problems with my right foot. But it turns out I have a bad infection so on antibiotics

Same predicament though- painful to walk very far and climb ladders so I've just been out and done one no job, back home with leg up now. Been like this for 3 and a half weeks.

Feel sorry for anyone with gout as its recurrent. Best thing you can do is eat healthy if you don't already and drop the beer. Apparently wine doesn't have as direct an effect on gout as beer does. And eat less meat , try get protein from other sources .
I read up on it a lot as I was convinced I had it for last 2 weeks.
