How did you manage work during a gout attack?

Take a good dose os steroid and painkiller and you should be good to go in an hour.

I always give my patients a supply for an attack. No harm in taking them for a short period of attack.

No person should live in pain if good treatment available. Gout is one such case.

The following articles should help, preventing attack is best way
