I too have suffered from Gout attacks. Thankfully daily Allipurinol has kept my uric acid levels down. In the past when I have had an attack I've used a methylprednisone dose pack. Within 12-24 hours the flare up is gone.

I am hesitant to take an addictive narcotic for the rest of my life. At this point I think I'll keep looking for other pain management options.
