How Should Severe Swelling In The Ankle And Foot Be Treated And Cured When Diagnosed With Gout In The Foot?
Saw podiatrist for possible gout in foot today. He prescribed colchine. Swelling is well into calf. Took dose of 2. .6mg, then 1, this afternoon. Pain is better but affected calf is still 1 1/2 larger in circumference than other. When is it reasonable for swelling to reduce. Ankle and foot are swelled too.
