We, gout sufferers are the only people on the planet who actually know how much a gout attack actually hurt. The level of pain is severe and most of us have a hard time preventing or stopping a gout attack. Here I will reveal how to stop gout attack with methods that actually work. In addition, I actually tried all of them and commonly use the combination of them in a case of the gout attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gout attack: Basics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have never suffered a gout attack, but you think soon one will hit you, now is the time to get a close idea what it this actually.

The symptoms include swollen, hot and red joints or a single joint and they may occur at any given moment. Sadly, they occur at night, so you will likely be awakened by the attack. Keep in mind that even if you suffer from just one symptom, a gout attack is a probable cause. However, I personally know that there are almost always one or more symptoms linked together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to stop gout attack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Take a medication<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A medication in this case scenario is the first and the main step to follow. There is no point in trying anything else if you don\u2019t want to take a medication. If you are one of those who avoid taking a medication just because it has side effects, then you will have to suffer through the entire gout attack!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best medications for this issue are ibuprofen and naproxen.<\/strong> I have been using both of them and they proved more than just effective in preventing a gout attack. I know how problematic it may be to function while under pain, but this is something we all must do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try to remember that if you are already taking a medication which should reduce levels of uric acid, you must continue to take it daily, or as your doctor prescribed. This is absolutely essential if you are looking for a way to prevent future gout attacks and to live a happier life. In addition, a doctor may prescribe you an anti-inflammatory medication which is also a useful tool versus a gout attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The medications I have mentioned at the beginning are the most effective and they are the best for this situation. They also have the lowest number of side effects, so they are definitely something worth considering. If you are a gout sufferer like me, you will have to keep them within your reach at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
