Doctors advised you to take a purines free diet which help doctors to determine: 1) to check whether you are eating high purine diets. 2) your body is making too much uric acid in the body. 3) your body excrete uric acid but maybe not enough. 3) when there is a change of gout, the doctor advised to check the knee by extracting fluid from joints. This is done by a fine needle and sent to the lab to determine the crystal in joints and to what levels it has reached. This tells us everything about gout. ; Treatment Gout is treated with following medication: 1) nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids) prevent the inflammation of the gout. Ibuprofen, naproxen are given. 2) colchicine is given to people who don't have relief from nsaid. ; Kidney stones are also tested with all this medication.
