I have Gout. Lived with it for almost 20 years before it was diagnosed as Gout. About 2 episodes a month on average. It is very painful and very debilitating.
Now I am able to control it with diet and medication during flare-ups, which are very few now. Maybe twice a year.
An average flare-up lasts about 5 days.
Had a 60th Birthday party over the weekend. Drank too much. Ate the wrong foods. Massive Flare-up on Monday. In my heel.
I was reading about a cream that has capsaicin in it for Gout.
Capsaicin is the chemical in Hot Peppers.
So, I diced a Jalapeno up very fine and put it between two layers of gauze. I taped that to my heel. Left it on over night. Woke up with very diminished pain. It's completely gone today.
A flare up that usually lasts 4 to 5 days only lasted 24 hours.
