Help! Major gout flare.

I am six days post op and having a major gout flare. I can barely walk. Please let me know what I can do.

  • I think you should call your specialist rather than ask here. There may be meds you used to take that are okay to take vs not with a sleeved stomach. I wish I had some useful advice but I can only off

What did you used to do for it before the surgery?

Indomethecin was my go to drug for flares. Was very effective. I've never had a flare this severe, though.

Call your dr and let him know. You might not be able to take the Indomethecin. Tell him what is going on. He might be able to give you something else.

Thanks for the responses. I'll definitely call the doctor. I was hoping to gain insight from someone who's "been there, done that". We are a rather unique medical group with our sleeves. Not sure my pcp has seen another sleeved in his practice.
