Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
i read your question and i understand your concern. Pain in the area is common thing and its good sign that pain is controlled. Swelling will take time as its a healing process. All you need to do is stick to gout medications, use tylenol for pain and keep the limbs elevated when possible and apply some topical anti inflammatory creams over it . Swelling will subside in a couple of weeks.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
