Sudden Knee Pain, Taking Medicines, Ice-packs. Gout? Diet?
I am having sudden knee joint pain since last 2 hours. Infact, i have been having these kind of sudden joint attacks since last few months. I have tried Naproxen , Ibuprofen as per the doctor. I have also tried Ice-packs but that relieves me for few hours and after that its the same next day. I think i have a Gout! What would you suggest other than drinking more water + cutting protein out of my diet?

Hi Zed,
Thanks for writing your query.
Did you had any history of injury on your knee or legs?
You should get yourself investigated for:-
1. Serum Uric Acid
2. Serum Calcium
3. CRP
4. ESR
5. RA Factor
6. X-Ray Knee (AP and Lateral view)
Get yourself examined by an Orthopedic Surgeon.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
