[|Human|] My mother has a pain in left ankle/leg ( diagnosed as gout ) , she`s got a pinched nerve in back she`s has medication but the pain subsides little but comes again especially in evening. She got Pradaxa from specialist, Mybulen pain stillers Vinovo 500/20mg, Colchicine 0.5mg. Can she use Puricos 300mg for pain as well ?
[|AI|]  No. Colchicine, similar to chemotherapy, prevents cells from growing, turning over and releasing DNA that is broken down to uric acid. It stops the production of gout stuff. It stops gout flares. Allopurinol (prices) blocks the DNA breakdown BUT it is chemically similar to gout stuff and will trigger an acute gout flare. I cannot say in her particular case and nerve pain is not gout pain. Gout medicines do not interact with nerve pain.
