Patient's question:
I am 53 years old. Recently, as I have gotten older, I have been experiencing leg pain. I have previously visited an immunology department, but the effect was not significant. I have taken both Chinese and Western medicine, especially when the weather changes, I feel uncomfortable. How should gouty arthritis be treated?Doctor's answer:
If you get gouty arthritis, it mainly causes the joints to reappear red, swollen, hot, and painful. In severe cases, it may affect walking. It is mainly possible to take some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and you should also pay attention to preventing joint cold in daily life. Do not drink beer or eat high-protein foods, and you can also take colchicine for treatment. At the same time, you can also cooperate to do some physical therapy. Use ice packs to temporarily relieve acute attacks. It is best to rest in bed absolutely.
