How to relieve gout pain in your fingers
Develop a pain medication dosing schedule with your doctor.
Instead of just taking the standard dosage of pain medication, your doctor may suggest that you use higher doses for a sudden onset attack. If you take a consistent lower-dose pain medication as well, you'll be covered for both acute and daily episodes.
Don't try this method without getting your doctor's approval first. Taking high doses of pain medication can impact the health of your liver or stomach.
