Everyday, there are hundreds of thousands gout patients around the world searching high and low for the most effective pain reliever for gout that can take away the awful gout pain immediately. Depending on how long you have been suffering from hyperuricemia and how often you get the gout attacks, each level of gout requires different types of pain relievers.
Here is a list of 3 phases of gout and the suggested pain reliever for each phase.
Phase I – Mild Gout Attack
If you just begun to experience some mild gout attacks, your doctor should prescribe Colchicine, which is a natural plant-based poison administered at low dosage. Colchicine is the most commonly known gout medicine since centuries ago. It helps to reduce the swelling and minimize the pain. It works perfectly in treating mild gout pain experienced by early gout patients.
Phase II – Acute Gout Attack
If the uric acid levels in the body remain high, the frequency and intensity of the gout attacks will increase over time. Eventually Colchicine will become less effective in treating the intensified gout pain. At this stage, you need the prescription for some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as ibuprofen and naproxen to deal with the gouty inflammation. You need professional advice on taking these synthetic drugs because they can cause some side effects such as diarrhea and nausea.
Phase III – Chronic and Frequent Gout Attacks
If your gout condition become so serious that even NSAIDs cannot do much to reduce the pain. That is when the doctor will suggest the use of cortisone injection. Cortisone is a steroidal drug that is directly injected into the affected joint. Of all pain relievers for gout, cortisone is the most powerful and sometimes the pain relief effect can last for weeks.
Everything comes with a price. If you want an instant and stronger pain reliever for gout, you have to prepare for the consequences. Stronger pain reliever always comes with more harmful side effects. Cortisone injections can cause very harmful side effects to the body, especially to the kidneys. As a matter of fact, many gout patients died because of renal failure.
There is no magic pill that can cure any disease instantly. Drugs are designed to manage the symptoms of a disease, they are not created to cure diseases. If they do, those pharmaceutical companies are in the business of putting themselves out of business. They cannot heal you, but they do not want you to die too soon too. In business term, they want you to keep on buying more and more drugs for the rest of your life. That is the hard sad fact of the sickness industry.
