Brief Answer:
Diagnosis of gout should be confirmed.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, I am Dr Gopal Goel Orthopedic Surgeon.
Pregnazon is not the treatment of choice , if you have gout ,so initial diagnosis is not confirmed.
I suggest that you get Blood test for uric acid in your blood. If it is very high then we have start medicine to control the levels.If it is normal ,the I would like to go for X Rays.
In the meantime continue with pain killers , do a hot fomentation and apply local analgesic cream.
Thanx for the question. Please feel free to ask any other question.
