gout, acute
"Third day and it doesn't even touch the pain at night.  Never had gout ever before,  broke tibia and ankle, had surgery with 3 plates and 18 screws in my leg Nov 18.  Got my splint put on three weeks ago and the soft cotton padding couldn't touch my touch or it burned terribly.  Ortho didn't catch it and three weeks later fed up with poppin meds and getting worse, I saw my regular dr.  He instantly said, gout.  Took blood test, proscribed me this stuff at 50mg three times a day.  After the first two the first day, the following day it slowed nicely and I was able to go out for a few hours.  I am in a wheel chair at this point with the legs still messed up.  Got home and the pain was insane!  That was yesterday.  Today is tough, what do I do"
