gout, acute
"Wicked Apple was my poison( a fine ale!), after that in about 12 hours I began to hurt, and in 18 hours there was no relief in the pain.  I took my Colcrys (0.6) as prescribed, starting at 11pm, 12, and again at 2 am (about 15 hours after I had my one and only Wicked Apple)  20 hours later, it is all I can do to walk into the Dr's office still in terrible pain.  

The Dr gave me an injection of METHYLPRENISOLONE ACETATE (40mg) and prescribed Indomethacin.  By 22 hours I was feeling better, by 24 I was walking again, 26 hours I could stand in the shower.

It could have been the combination of the three drugs I have in my system, but 36 hours later, there is no pain and I only had one pill!  I still have swelling, but no pain!  Thank You!!"
