Oddly the best cure is eating cherries. It works pretty fast. I hope you like cherries. Also avoid liver and liverwurst. They can get it acting up all over again, I had to give up liverwurst which I love! Avoid spicy foods too which aggravate it. Take some ibuprofen or other NSAID for it.
Here's the foods to avoid:
* anchovies
* asparagus
* beef kidneys
* brains
* dried beans and peas
* game meats
* gravy
* herring
* liver
* mackerel
* mushrooms
* sardines
* scallops
* sweetbreads

A flare up doesn't usually last too long so you should be okay to walk tomorrow evdn it it still hurts a little.

I used to have this problem all the time. I have been taking allopurinol for the past six years, it has not returned. Gout is treatable with medications and sometimes is triggered by diet.

If you have gout you need to see the doc and get it treated. This is not something that will just go away on it's own if it truely is gout.

Gout is a high Uric acid (SP) count. Diet has an effect on it. I know it hurts like hell, see your MD and he should be helpful.
Good luck
