Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
Gout commonly presents as mono arthritis. However when its chronic it can involve a number of joints. In acute gouty arthritis, indomethacin 50 mg can be taken thrice a day. At this stage uric acid fluctuations should be avoided i.e drugs like allopurinol or febuxostat at this stage can worsen the pain.
