    What are you taking for it?

    Cherry juice is good,but actual cherries are best.They break down the uric acid that has formed crystals in your major joints.

    There are(I believe) actual medications for it,as well as pain treatments,but I haven't researched much into them.

    The medication for acute gouty attack is called Colchacine. Long term medication called Indomethacin may be taken as well.

    If you have had this for 30 days you need to see a doctor and have this treated pronto.
