How to relieve gout pain, gout can do this

Gout is a disease that is common in middle-aged and elderly people. Common symptoms include redness, swelling, and tingling in the joints. Gout attacks have a great impact on people's lives. Especially the pain can be unbearable for patients. If gout strikes, is there any way to quickly relieve the pain?

1: Elevate the affected area. During an acute attack, patients should elevate the affected limb and allow the affected part to rest. This may not be easy to do because you may be unable to move due to pain. Most patients at this stage cannot even bear the weight of a bed sheet, and will feel severe pain if the joints are slightly touched. We can make a protective frame so that the sheets and blankets do not press on the painful area.

2: Since the swollen area is hot and painful, you can apply an ice pack to the skin to help relieve the pain.

3: You can grind 5 grams of cinnamon into powder and take it with 20 grams of honey. Massage the painful joints. Generally, the pain can be relieved in 30 minutes.

4: Soak your feet in gout hand and foot bath for at least 30 minutes before going to bed at night to relieve pain and dissolve uric acid crystals and excrete them out of the body.

5: If the pain is unbearable, you must use non-steroidal analgesics, such as diclofenac sodium. It is not possible to use hormones and salicylates to relieve pain, otherwise the condition will worsen.

6: Move your joints frequently. Move your fingers and toes, knees and elbows more often and do stretching exercises. This will drive away the deposits of uric acid crystals in the joints.

7: Use Chinese medicine to stabilize and inhibit uric acid to prevent and treat recurrence. Some patients take gout acid-removing capsules to suppress uric acid. This medicine itself has the dual function of lowering uric acid and protecting the kidneys. Chinese medicine is very mild and using such Chinese medicine can help the body recover.

8: In the treatment of gout, special attention should be paid to stabilizing uric acid. Since gout is a complication that occurs when blood uric acid increases to a certain level, even if joint pain improves, it does not mean that gout has been cured. Because gout attacks usually become more severe with each attack and take a greater toll on the kidneys, it is especially important to protect the kidneys.

9: Take western medicine. Taking colchicine is an anti-inflammatory treatment for acute gout attacks, but the side effects often make you feel uncomfortable, such as diarrhea. However, if you use gout acid-removing capsules to control blood uric acid levels at normal levels, patients with mild gout will recover after a period of treatment.

Treatment for gout: During the onset of gout, patients must pay attention to quitting drinking, eating less meat, and eating more high-potassium, kidney-strengthening, and blood-activating foods.
