Gout has been going on for more than a year, and I've been going back and forth lately

Gout is a metabolic disease with arthritis as the main clinical manifestation. If the patient experiences the above symptoms for a long time, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly.

1. General treatment: In daily life, it is necessary to pay attention to avoiding bad habits such as high-purine diet and drinking, and to maintain good living habits and weight control;

2. Drug treatment: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used under the guidance of doctors to relieve painful symptoms, such as diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets or ibuprofen capsules; Colchicine can also be taken as prescribed for pain treatment, but it is important to note that these drugs may cause symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, so you need to closely monitor your body for changes.In addition, glucocorticoids can also be selected for short-term application, such as prednisolone tablets or dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection;

3. Surgical treatment: For patients with more serious conditions, surgery may be required for treatment, such as removal of hyperplastic osteophytes or resection of the soft tissues of the affected joints.

4. Other methods: Traditional Chinese medicine can be used to assist treatment, such as acupuncture therapy, which mainly stimulates acupuncture points to achieve the effect of relaxing tendons and channels, helping to promote blood circulation and speed up metabolism, thereby reducing swelling and pain.

In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to rest and minimize strenuous exercise, so as not to cause local friction and aggravate the discomfort symptoms. It is also necessary to go to the hospital regularly to review the changes in uric acid levels so that the treatment plan can be adjusted.
