What Can You Do For Pain From Gout

Can I take hydrocodone for gout pain? ## Yes, you can take hydrocodone for any kind of pain. Just make sure you are taking your own medication & not someone else's. lol seriously, though, they have other meds for gout, Allopurinol which is for acute gout, the kind in a flare up, and colchicine, which is to control gout for the long term. I would talk to your doc about those first. But for temporary use, ask your doc about a low dose of hydro just til the flare up eases.

I have been taking Quinapril for many years, but cannot get it in Malaysia, so now take Perindopril. I have also suffered from occasional gout for years - but recently attacks have become much more frequent (every couple of weeks). Could this be the Perindopril? ## Yes, it certainly may be due to the Perindopril. Most blood pressure medications can cause excess uric acid levels that result in gout and sometimes you have to play around to find one that works for you, without being a literal pain. Learn more Perindopril details here. Do you have a doctor there that can help you find a different medication? Because you may be better off staying away from this drug class to avoid the issue. ## am a diabetic 59 yrs male. on metformin & gibenclamide for diabetes for 9 yrs and simvastatin ...

I'm going in for a root canal in three days. It hurts bad and the only pain killer I have is a couple of diclofenac that my doc gave me for gout.

Were you prescribed an antibiotic? Are you on any other medications?

My problem is much like so many others on here. After being treated with meds for 12 years (120 Soma per month as well as 180 Norco 10 and 120 Valium 10) my wife which is on full disability was also treated by the same doc for 9 years. The doctor was raided by local police and DEA but was never charged with anything unfortunately the local press basically tried and convicted him in 1 week smear campain. As a result he never returned.to his.practice and allowed his medical license to expire. It's now been 22 months and the DEA still has my medical file as well as 15 other patients. It has been the closest thing to hell as I have every known. I can't even get a doctor to write a prescription for my gout medication. I now realized the amount of drugs I was receiving was excessive I...

I have been using Fosamax for 3 months, I have noticed severe pain in my big toe and just this week have severe pain in all my toes to the point of having trouble walking. I thought it was the sandals I was wearing but even after stopping that and going back to my good tennis shoes my toes are in terrible pain. Anybody else have this problem? ## Have you consulted your doctor? Fosomax contains the active ingredient Alendronic_acid and it has been known to cause some bone problems, primarily in the thigh, but it is always possible that it could also affect other bones in the body, as well. You should consult your doctor to get to the root of the problem. ## It sounds like an exact problem I had. It turned out to be "gout".

My brother is taking Norco after a knee replacement, but a few days ago he came up with another problem. Having had gout before, he started getting redness and some swelling under the other foot. Can he take the green pill, Indomethacin while taking the Norco? ## Hello, Panda! How is your brother doing? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between these two medications, but it's always best to double check to be sure. So, there shouldn't be any problem, as long as his doctor approves. Norco is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Indomethacin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Side effects...

My doctor told me I had an ear infection and prescribed Amox-Clav 875-125 since I work in the UAE ( I think she thinks I may have brought it over). I developed sinus drainage, extreme sore throat, coughing, and sinus infection symptoms about three days after getting to the states. Since taking the medicine, I have developed pains in my entire left foot. I have gout, and this feels like an expanded case of gout. My throat pain is gone, but now my eyes are blood-shot and matty, and my foot hurts. ## Hello, Marc! How are you doing? Has there been any change? Gout is not something that the FDA lists as a typical side effect of this medication, they usually include nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash.

what does ciprofloxacn treat? ## my husband has gout and needs some medicine, so was wondering if cipro was for that. He is in severe pain and redness of the big toe and up his foot. ## Yipes! If your husband has gout, you can't just go giving him random pills that are lying around the house. You should have a prescription for his gout medication! Cipro is an antibiotic. It is used for confirmed bacterial infections. But it is an incredibly toxic drug that can leave one disabled, even after just one pill. Please read this introduction to Fluoroquinolones here to see how dangerous these drugs can be. If you gave your husband Cipro and he become disabled, how guilty would you feel considering that these drugs don't even treat gout! So, he might become disabled simply because you g...

osteoarthritis pain from lactic acid ## Hello, Jules! How are you? What condition are you asking about? It seems you're confusing several. Osteoarthritis is completely different from gout and the latter would involved uric acid. What have you been diagnosed with? NSAIDs can be used to treat osteoarthritis, unless one's health prohibits such, but gout often requires something to reduce the uric acid.

I have been on 50mg of Topamax for weight loss and recently had what appears to be my first attack of gout. If it is associated with kidney stones, could it also be associated with an increase in uric acid leading to gout? ## I have just finished taking topamax, and I can hardly move my left arm because of the pain of gout.Would be interesting to hear of anyone else., ## My fiance has developed what looks likes gout after being on topamax for about a week. After some googling i came across this: ## There are rare occasions where this medication has caused blood clots in some people during treatment. I encourage you to consult your doctor to be certain of what is causing your issues, before just assuming it is gout. What kind of pain are you suffering?
