What to do if strength training causes gout

At this time, it is necessary to carry out symptomatic treatment for acute attack of gout, and correct the high uric acid level after the symptoms are relieved and change the intensity of the exercise appropriately. 1. Symptomatic treatment: patients with acute attacks of gout can use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as etoricoxib and ibuprofen and colchicine for anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatment. 2. Correct high uric acid: after gout symptoms are relieved, patients need to actively take febuxostat, allopurinol and other uric acid-lowering drugs under the guidance of the physician to control the level of blood uric acid. 3.
