Dear soodyogesh and kalyani,

I am not a medical doctor and neither am I a dietician, but in the capacity of a physiotherapist...understanding what is causing the gout should be the first step to treatment. If he is on gout medications then it should take some time to clear. there are many causes of gout, as I am not the medical doctor who assessed your Uncle and husband respectively, I cannot give advice for any treatment forms.

Kidney problems, excessive intake of alchohol, some diuretic medications all can predispose to gout so a thorough knowledge of a man's medical hisstory is required in managing gout effectively.

Clients i have managed with physiotherapy rarely make any significant improvement because it is a systemic issue that physical treatment cannot address. whereever the gout may be prominent, it is however important that the joint is moved within the pain limit to avoid stiffness. Trying to manage with heat or cold in my own opinion rarely makes any difference.

So my suggestion is to speak with your medical doctor if you have any concerns about the prognosis of this gout issue

have a good week ahead
