Gout Remedies

If you have ever had the misfortune of suffering from a gout flare-up, let me describe it to you. Imagine a pain in your big toe, that hurts so bad that should the softest sheet on your bed graze your big toe as you rolled over in your sleep, you seriously could kill the person sleeping next to you for moving the sheet!

Actually gout doesn’t feel like that. That’s how you HOPE it would feel because the excruciating pain of gout would make it doubtful that you would even be able to sleep at all. Gout hurts so bad that you actually begin contemplating if amputation of the big toe might in fact ease the pain.

Gout hurts so bad that if the army could find away to use it they would have their replacement for waterboarding. Hopefully you are beginning to see how bad it hurts. Before I get into talking about gout remedies, let me explain what gout is.

What is gout? (the technical definition)

Gout is, an EXCRUCIATINGLY painful and acute form of arthritis that is the result of a build up of excess uric acid in the bloodstream. It is the crystallization of the uric acid in the joint that causes the pain associated with gout.

One of the reasons gout is so problematic is that it arrives like a thief in the night. a quiet, sadistic thief. It often feels like you stubbed your big toe or perhaps sprained it. Then it rapidly heats up to the point where a hundred needles being stuck into your toe simultaneously would feel better than the pain you begin enduring with gout.

Seriously it hurts like heck! (if I had a flare-up right now that would have been a much stronger word!)

So now that I have scared the crap out of you, I’m sure you are wondering what causes gout so that you NEVER get it. Well the list is potentially long my friend!

But let’s talk about gout remedies. This article, if you found it online, is directed at those who have already encountered the frustrations of trying to contain the gout monster.

If you are having your first flare-up with gout, you may want to see a doctor and make sure you are diagnosed correctly. But before you go make sure to bookmark this article. Because you’ll be back.

Almost everything a doctor will do is to provide a very short lasting gout remedy. I’ve taken them all including Allupurinol and Colchicine. No thanks! A doctor’s gout remedy involves a few drugs and maybe a shot or two.. but the gout will be back.

When I had my first gout attack I thought the doctor had given me a gout cure. I could have married him on the spot or at the very least washed his car. But then a few months it came back, and I cursed his name until I went back to him hobbled in pain pleading for more drugs to stop the pain.

But I hate taking drugs and that was it. I had to find my own remedy for gout. So I began my quest in earnest searching and seeking out all of the home remedies for gout that I could find. Garlic, cherry juice, pineapples, acupuncture…you name it and I took it.

I realized that if this cycle of pain was ever going to end then I had to do something on my own. I would have to find a remedy for gout that would end this.

That’s when I found Uricinex. I researched the active ingredients in Urcinex and found that they were all natural. So I gave it a try. At first, I did not feel any immediate relief but within hours the pain began to subside and within 12 hours by gout attack was gone.

If it didn’t work on me I wouldn’t be telling you this but of all the gout remedies that I have tried, Urcinex is the best.
