I am suffering right now, without any oil.
but when you have it use hash oil and rubbing alcahol

rub it in the area where the most pain is.
If you are as bad off as me,,, it really hurts to touch it so get
someone to rub it in for you, it is agonizing but it is worth it.
by the way I had a massage therapist massage my gout out of my foot and up into my calf once. Now when I get gout it gets the whole area all the way up into my calf, so don't let it get pushed around, it kind of makes a new home there.
Aleve works for me as far as swelling, and if I absolutely have to I will take a vicodin.
Is allipurinal prescription only?
I don't like the idea of taking a pill for the rest of my life but i would be interested in trying it.
also, drinking lots of water helps me get better quicker.

bigfatpothead Reviewed by bigfatpothead on . GOUT!!!! My husband had the worst gout attack ever. For those of you who don't know what gout is-is an attack on the joints. It comes from eating red meats, drinking and stress. Used to be called the "rich man's" disease because the wealthy used to get it in the late 17th early 18th centuries. Anyhoo...took him to the docs and he got some meds for it, but it wasn't like getting a nice bong hit and putting him to bed. Honey's doing much better now. :eek: Rating: 5
