Gouty arthritis, I want to ask how long it hurts

Gouty arthritis generally refers to acute gouty arthritis. Typically, acute gouty arthritis pain is not fixed for a fixed period of time and may last for 1-2 weeks or longer.

Acute gouty arthritis is a metabolic disease caused by high levels of uric acid in the body, which can cause severe pain, redness and swelling at the time of attack, and will also be accompanied by significant activity limitations. If the patient's condition is mild, it may gradually resolve over a week or so; However, if the patient's symptoms are more severe, it may take two weeks or even a month for them to return to normal.The exact time is not generalized, but depends on the individual's physical condition and the effect of the treatment.

It is recommended that patients seek medical attention for examination and treatment in time, and can take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for pain relief under the guidance of a doctor, such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules or diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets and other drugs, which can play an anti-inflammatory and analgesic role. At the same time, you can also use colchicine tablets or benzbromarone tablets and other drugs for uric acid-lowering treatment according to the doctor's instructions, which can promote uric acid excretion, so as to achieve the effect of improving the disease.

In addition, we should also pay attention to a reasonable diet in daily life, try to focus on low-purine foods, and avoid eating high-purine foods, so as not to aggravate the symptoms of physical discomfort.
