   Step one…make sure its gout, especially if just one joint involved and its the first time…bacterial joint infections and gout both look and feel the same

   Once you have made a gout diagnosis…the first treatment option, assuming u are not alelrgic, have no ulcer and your kidneys are ok is a non steroidal antiinflammatory…traditionally people have used indocin, but no reason why aleve, motrin/ibuprofen wouldnt work
