Predisone is a steroid class medication and while it can help with the inflammation that can occur from gout, it is unlikely that it will treat the underlying cause, which is excess uric acid, so is isn't likely to really help clear up the condition.

It may also cause some side effects, such as: nausea, weight gain and fluid retention, which could actually worsen your condition.

Have you discussed this with your doctor?

Steroids are, sometimes, used, but, as I stated above, they don't always treat the entire problem for everyone that tries them.
