Hi,
Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.

Besides taking alloupriol have you changed your diet at all? If you havent I recommend you to talk to your doctor about what dietary changes you need to take.
Other than this you can increase your vitamin C intake, drink more coffee and eat cherries, these have shown to help gout patients.

For the pain you can ask your doctor to prescribe you with NSAIDs or cochicine.

I hope this answered your question.
