General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

I suppose you may be having a gout attack. You can send me a photo of it. You should do also blood tests to confirm it. Keep a diet with low purines. Use Indomethacine and Colchicine for pain. Use Allopurinol to treat it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka,
General & Family Physician
