X-ray Report Showing Sprain With Gout. Swollen Foot With Pain. High Uric Acid Levels. On BP Medication. Need To Be Worried About Any Other Problem?

I was treated for an injury to my foot over a week ago. They did x-rays and said that it was a sprain along with gout . Well, the gout has never really gone away. Today the big toe is swollen again and hurts...I took a naperson that I had, and I am trying to drink lots of water, cherry juice, blueberries to bring down my uric acid . I am not feeling very good and have diahrrea and lots of gas and bubbling in the stomach. I have been out of town for a month and 1/2 trying to help my sister who has not been doing well. I am on blood pressure medication, and medformin once a day. Could anyting else be going on? What else can I do?

Hi
Gout also known as podagra when it involves the big toe. Follow these suggestions
Drink plenty of water
Your food should be rich in anti oxidants , vitamin c like green tea, green leafy vegetables, apple, pomegranate, vegetables rich in water content.
Avoid non veg , coffee , junk foods, aerated drinks , alcohol, smoking and vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower, green peas these things which increase the uric acid in blood. So avoid these.
Learn yoga techniques to control your stress and for good sleep.
Physiotherapy will be helpful for you to control your pain.
Keep doing regular exercises to all the joints which prevent the accumulation of uric acid in the joints.
Strictly follow your dr advice.
Hope this answers your query.
