If the pain is unbearable (I know), seek medical attention for a prescription. That's the fastest way out of the pain. Gout will return at some time so watch what kinds of food your eating to reduce your risks of future attacks. Check out GoutDiet.net for helpful tips

Gout is extremely painful and will require some form of pain reliever during an attack. Aleve works and some say ibuprofen is also good for the pain. The preferred drug is Colchicine (prescription) and it will usually stop the attack in 1-3 days. Check out the link below for more detailed information.

Acute attacks of gout can be treated with nonaspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as naproxen sodium (Aleve), ibuprofen (Advil), or indomethacin (Indocin).
