gout, acute
"Indomethacin at the dose of 200mg per 12 hours over a period of 5 days works best for me.  I have tried all doses lower and they have no affect.  Only opiates prescribed immediately will stop the pain in two hours, but doctors do not understand the severe pain gout attacks feel like and are reluctant to give this type of pain killer even though the gout attack is so severe that one cannot do anything but lay in bed with pain.  Unless you have had an attack of gout you have no idea what pain really is."
