I'm having a real bad attack of the dreaded gout. I've had two attacks before, one 6 years ago, the other 20 years ago but each time it lasted a few days and ibuprofen defeated it. This attack is now three weeks long and ibuprofen, colchicine and Prednisolone have all failed I'm afraid to say. While i chomp on cherries here can anyone advise me on steroid injections? i start work three weeks today, I'm a bit nervous about it and so is my boss. The injections will cost but I'm at the stage where i really don't care i just want an end to this hell. best wishes to all fellow sufferers of this damned thing.
