I'm nine days post op. I have a bad case of gout. My surgeon allows me to take pain meds but no anti-inflamatory meds. How do you handle gout. I can't walk and want to exercise as much as possible.

Tommy,

I took allopurinol to control my gout for years. The good news longer term for you is that gout is often resolved by wls. I've stopped taking it completely now and am hoping mine is gone. I did have one minor glare up and took Tylenol to help reduce the swelling. Wouldn't probably do much for a massive flare up though (at least in my experience). Good luck man, I know it sucks.
