Why am I still experiencing unbearable gout pain in my toe after 12 days of taking Movon-p, Tendo care, Feburic 40 mg, Eltrouin 25 mg, and Rosavel 5mg, how long does this severe pain typically last, and what can I do to get relief?
When starting Feburic (febuxostat) to lower uric acid, it is actually very common to experience temporary, intense flare-ups as uric acid crystals in the joint begin to dissolve. These flares can unfortunately last two weeks or more. Please do not stop your prescribed medications, but do contact your doctor. They can safely adjust your pain management, perhaps by adding a targeted medication like colchicine. For immediate relief, try resting, elevating your foot, and applying ice packs to your toe for 15-20 minutes.
