Quick gout relief
We are all looking for quick relief when we suffer from something, especially when the pain is close to insupportable. This level of pain can appear at people who suffer from gout and in particular when they have gout attacks. Since gout is one of the different kinds of arthritis, your joints are the first affected one and most commonly the joint from the big toe. The disease itself can show no symptoms until the first gout attack that most patients say it happens very suddenly during the night.
There are several things you can do when you get a gout attack even if you do not have a diagnostic. When you wake up in the middle of the night because of a very intense pain and you see that your big toe is swollen and you cannot bear anything touching it, the first thing you want is to stop the pain. To stop the pain you can take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs commonly known as NSAID drugs such as ibuprofenor other pain killers. You should also make sure that nothing touches the affected area and if possible you should keep the painful area higher than the rest of your body, for example you can put a small pillow under your leg.
As with any other pains, especially unexpected ones, you can take a bag with ice cubes, crushed ice or frozen vegetables and apply it on the sore joint for a couple of minutes. Make sure you do not keep frozen things on the joint for more than five minutes at a time. If you are able to get out of bed and walk to the bathroom you can either keep your foot under cold running water or in warm water. Soaking your painful joint in warm water is very useful and you can also consider steam baths.
Quick gout relief can also be achieved by eating certain vegetables and fruits. However one thing to keep in mind is that both fruits and vegetables need to be fresh. Although no research proved any connection between gout attacks and any vegetables or fruits, several of them are constantly used to produce gout herbal remedies and many people suffering from gout said they worked for them. Some of the vegetables and fruits from this list are carrots, celery, parsley, spinach, cherries, blueberries, oranges and lemons.
Since a gout attack, especially the first one that ever happens to you, usually takes between three to ten days to be treated, there are some easy things you can do to lessen the intensity of the gout attack. You should be drinking at least six gasses of water every day so that you eliminate more uric acid; you should eat more fruits and vegetables, more dairy and you should make sure you increase the quantity of food that contain potassium. Also drinking freshly made juice from lemon, oranges or black cherries, is a good way of getting quick relief. Last but not least you should go see your physician as soon as possible and get a correct diagnostic as well as appropriate medical treatment.
