I have had a very severe gout attack on my middle knuckle and had to have surgery to drain the Chrystal s about 5 years ago. Today the same knuckle has the same symptoms progressing as before. Quite painful. I saw my dr yesterday and he said my acid was very high. Since it went so bad last time, should I go back to the ER now or wait? I am on Colcrys now.
Dear sir/madam it is gouty arthritis symptoms you are experiencing again. Since you were started on colchicine you can wait for the Chat Doctor.
