Answer 1

Gout is extremely painfull but not usually describled as a burning sensation. It could be athletes foot but that is usually accompanied by itchy, red and flaking skin. Another possibility is plantar fascitis which a massage therapist can treat. Or ultimately the burning sensation could be caused by compression or damage to the nerve innervating that area of the foot. I suggest consulting a physician.

Answer 3

I've never had gout, but I hear it is very painful. Usually it affects the big toe, but I've never heard of the pain in other areas of the body. Are you sure it is gout, and not some other disorder like fibromyalgia, which produces pain all over? Gout is generally caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals. If the battery of meds that you're taking hasn't helped, it would appear that you're suffering from something else. I would get a second opinion. And no, I haven't heard of any alternative medicines for gout.

Answer 4

Gout is a condition where uric acid crystals build up in the body.
This can happen in the area of the big toe and cause a lot of pain.
Our foods contain purines; some foods are higher in this than others.
The doctor may place you on a lower purine diet (of which they will usually provide you a list of foods to avoid. There is also medications that can lower the uric acid in the blood
Here an alternative way to cure gout?

You have to go to the hospital to do some medical test to check it out. Then they will give you prescribe diet, what to eat and what to avoid in order to minimize the attacks. Also, take plenty of fluids (water) to dilute and excrete the acid.
