I've been having very bad gout attacks on my big toe and ankles. Despite staying away from rich foods, meat, beans, etc, the gout attacks persisted.

I decided to finally see a rheumatologist for help as it was seriously affecting my quality of life. Allopurinol has nasty side effects in some people including liver damage and Toxic Epidermal Necrosis (your skin falls off and you die of liver failure).

I was prescribed Febuxostat. 6 months on, I haven't had a single gout attack since.

For info, Colchicine is a poison, and should not be taken on a long term basis. it is very damaging to your body. And don't rely on pain killers and NSAIDs like nurofen they are bad for your heart.
