It is necessary to realise that treatment of gout is not just a few pills here and there, and it does not have very close correlation with uric acid levels. There are several other things that may bring in an acute gouty attack. The medicines for cutting short or aborting an impending attack are different from long-term drugs that need to be given continuously over years to reduce the chances of future attacks of acute gouty attack. In addition to medicines, important changes should be made in life-style to not only prevent further attacks, but also to prevent a condition called metabolic syndrome, usually seen in those with gout.
Because of these reasons, it is absolutely essential that you immediately contact a specialist in joint diseases called a Rheumatologist (a physician who specialises in joint diseases, and not orthopaedic surgeons). They will be able to advise you on the various aspects of this disease.
