Quick question about GOUT medication...
Does anyone know if I can take gout meds (Apo-Indomethacin 50mg)??
I'd have to tale the capsul apart, and use powder, but was wondering if anyone knows?
Gout flared up and HUGELY painful.
Failing a response, I'll wait and ask surgeon tomorrow, but if anyone else is in same spot and has already received clearance, I'd feel more comfortable!
Thanks,
J

I think I read something about protein drinks and gout - that there were certain kinds that were more apt to bring about an attack. Maybe it had to do with soy? I'd check with your surgeon, he may have some advice on what may have caused it, and what you can do about it.
I'm still pre-surgery but have been sampling different protein drinks, and I found that my feet were affected. Not a full blown gout attack, but uncomfortable. They calmed down after a couple of days however, but I don't know how I'll be when I increase the number of protein drinks per day.
I'd be interested in knowing what your surgeon says... so please post again and let us know.
Good luck and I hope the pain goes away quickly.
Take care.

Thank you all - Saved my life!!
I suffered the pain all night, ended up in emerg in Barrie, got a prescription for pain and swelling. Came home and did some research on it, then decided NOT to take it. I tell you some doctors are clueless about our surgery!
Called surgeon in the morning, and he said I did the right thing by NOT taking the prescription!!
I now am on allipuranal (sp), but still in a great deal of pain and taking pain meds. I don't know how long it will last but this is the worst pain and condition I've been in for a very long time!!
All the surgery stuff is fine, no problems, but gout in my toe s killing me. I hope it passes soon, I'm immobilized and having hard time due to pain. It's madning!!! But hey-my family has been great, daughters running around, making meals, and helping out - I'm a lucky guy!!!
