I have significant gout pain on top of my right kneecap.

I've been taking ibuprofen like they're tic tacs, (only about 800mg daily for a week, but I take lisinopril for hypertension and I've read you don't take those 2 meds together).

Started drinking more water and iced it some. It helped a little bit. Does anyone have anything they've taken that cured or significantly relieved this?

If you haven't had gout, thank the Lord. It can be excruciating.

Allopurinol. I went on Allopurinol in 2008 and haven't had a gout attack since. You'll want to stay in the 100mg range if possible. High dosage could damage kidneys long term.

Allegedly dark cherry juice can help, but it didn't help me

Go to the doctor, get on allopurinol. You can't fight it with Advil and cherry juice.

I'll ask him next appointment. Any idea if that can be taken with lisinopril and crestor?
