Im not alone…
Experienced this for first time 8 weeks ago-never felt pain like it .Triggered by being dehydrated.
Diet is fairly healthy but I do like a beer or two
Used Diclofenic and Colchicine in acute phase .Started taking cherry capsules as suggested they may help
Acute pain/swelling lasted about 7 days ,still grumbling away though
Had some bloods done urea high,so going to have repeat bloods done if still high may have to go onto Allopurinol which I wouldn’t have a problem with as long as I never experienced the pain again.
