How Can Pain In The Toes While Suffering From Gout Be Treated?
I have just been diagnosed with gout in my left big toe. It hurts. I was prescribed predisone {sorry about spelling} 20mg tabs. 2 tabs a day for 5 days. I will follow up with my regular Dr. I m concerned about my kidneys, as I have had kidney infections in the past. Do I need to worry so much? Just asking for second opinion. Thank you, Brenda

Hi,
As a first line management, you can try analgesics like Acetaminophen or Diclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
