Do you do any exercises during your Gout attack?

The worst thing about my gout attacks is that I can't run 7-10 miles every day like I normally do. So when I return to running 2-4 weeks later, I am really out of shape and takes few months to return to normal.

Currently I don't exercise at all other than limping around a little (still have chores to do). 

So are there any exercises you guys do and can recommend?

    You may find swimming a release.

    Rusty waxes lyrical about gout striking in joints that have perviously experienced "trauma".

    I mention this as if you have a severe attack and then place strain on the joint through over doing it to early you may be risking a trigger site or long term damage.

    And no i do not know this to. be a fact it is just an.opinion..
