Gout is an ancient disease described in Western medicine as a sudden onset at night, with symptoms usually peaking within a few hours. The affected joint and surrounding soft tissues are dark red, markedly swollen, locally warm and painful. It starts with a single joint, most commonly the bunion and the first metatarsophalangeal joint, and sometimes the ankle, knee, finger, wrist and elbow joints. Each gout attack lasts for a few days to a few weeks, and then resolves spontaneously. In the face of gout pain, Western medicine has three major assets: colchicine, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (representative drug ibuprofen), and glucocorticoids (representative drug prednisone). These three magic weapons are effective in relieving pain, but they have many side effects. There are many records of gout in Chinese medical monographs, such as Zhu Danxi, who was known as one of the “Four Great Physicians of the Golden Age” in the Yuan Dynasty, and mentioned in his book “Danxi Xinfa” and “Danxi Treatment Method” that “the pain in the hundred joints of the extremities is also. Other prescriptions are called white tiger wind evidence. Most of them have phlegm, wind-heat, wind-dampness and blood deficiency”. In the acute stage of gout, Chinese herbal medicine can be taken internally and applied externally to relieve pain. Studies have shown that when controlling blood uric acid less than 360 μmol/L, there was only 1 attack of gouty arthritis in the last 1 year, while there were 6 attacks in patients with blood uric acid greater than 360 μmol/L. The higher the blood uric acid level, the higher the recurrence rate of gout after 1 year. Keeping blood uric acid below 300μmol/L facilitates the dissolution of gout stones. It is important to relieve the pain of gout. However, if you only try to relieve the pain when it is unbearable, you will not be able to stop the damage of gout in the end. Reasonable and effective control of blood uric acid levels is the key to the problem.
