Why do I get gout when i stop drinking alcohol

Why do i get gout when i stop drinking alcohol

Answered on 5th Nov '24

Alcohol is supposed to be predisposing factor for gout. But it's not scientific proven that gout will only flare if you quit the alcohol.

Gout is a type of arthritis that is caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints. While alcohol consumption can increase the risk of gout, stopping alcohol suddenly can also trigger a gout attack. This is because alcohol interferes with the body's ability to eliminate uric acid, and sudden cessation can cause a rapid increase in uric acid levels.

Contrarily, people who quit drinking alcohol can have gout flare-ups due to a sharp drop in uric acid levels. Alcohol usually increases uric acid, but if you stop drinking your body can release stored crystals which cause inflammation and pain. It’s temporary, but seek a doctor for advice to manage gout

I'm a 18 year old female and I've been having cramps in my left hand, mainly from elbow under to wrist and my fingers feel kind of stiff. It happened for the first time 3/4 days ago and went away automatically in about 20 mins. It happened twice today and again went on it's own. Nothing done to trigger it. A bit of neck pain. Have generalised anxiety disorder and currently tapering off of Paxidep 12.5 . The cramps kind of feel like weakness and dull ache. I can't call it painful as it does not cause pain but a bit uncomfortable.

Female | 60

Take your mother to a doctor or Ayurvedic practitioner, before starting any new medication or supplement like Sandhi Mitra Vati. This is particularly crucial for patients with pre existing conditions, like diabetes, and considering potential interactions or contraindications.

I’m 22 years and I’m having thigh ache and I used pain relief last month and it stopped but now it’s aching me again

Female | 22

Thigh pain can be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, overuse, or even bad posture. Sometimes, you're sitting for too long, and you'll feel your thighs are hurting. Alongside this issue is that you are sitting for a long time and your thighs hurt. Do some light stretching, and apply heat to the affected area. Be active and avoid long periods of sitting down to allow them to feel well.

I am a type 2 diabetic patient.four days before a rusted nail pierced my right foot.after that my foot started swelling and i am not able to eat and having nausea and I also have gastric trouble and constipation.i vomited thrice today and I didn’t have my antibiotics or any diabetic tablets.i also have headache and fever

Male | 56

Maybe there is an infection in your foot. When your skin is pierced, bacteria may enter and cause swelling. The symptoms you are having such as feeling sick to your stomach (nausea), throwing up, being unable to have a bowel movement (constipation), headache, and having a high temperature could be due to the infection moving around. Quick treatment with antibiotics and other drugs from a doctor is needed so that you can get well soon.

I have slight tendonitis in entire arm. I had an angiogram 10 days ago. After forearm and swelling subsided in a day or two, my tendinitis ramped up in pain. It's very uncomfortable. Especially in the bicep... is is from traveling

Male | 65

Your arm probably doesn't fe­el good after the angiogram. The­ tendinitis flared up from the proce­dure. It causes aching in the bice­p area. Try applying ice packs and stretching ge­ntly. Also, give your arm a break. Consult the me­dical team if pain continues. They pe­rformed the angiogram, so they'll advise­ you properly.

Now my hands are got bend after plaster opened . And its painful some stretch and pinning like feelings in my left thumb where it get cut . Why such pain is there and may i get my tendon recovery in due course .please tell me doctor .

Male | 37

It's normal to feel some pain and discomfort after your plaster is removed. Your tendon might need more time to heal fully. The stretching and pinching sensations in your thumb are part of the healing process. Be patient, rest your hand, and do the gentle exercises your doctor recommended to help your tendon recover.

I had acl surgery 2 months ago , i started my rehab 1 month and 15 days a go , i relased that there is some lachman in my knee is it because my muscles are weak or because a failed surgery ?

Male | 23

I suggest that you see your orthopedic surgeon right away. Lachman is the presence of a failed surgery or weak muscles. Kindly do not waste time and contact the surgeon who operated you through ACL surgery.
