yes, i have too in the last finger of right hand.
it went off slowly in 3 weeks but the pain still remains.
folding movement of the finger from center is restricted.
It was spreaded to center finger too after 2/3 days when it began.
may be some tofie like accumulated.
i am playing shuttles daily. had to suspend play during severe pains.
but now though little difficulty in grip, i am comfortable., no drugs.

alanknight,

Don't want to sound boastful I've had gout in many different joints. I would say by far the joint with me that it lingers the longest is the fingers. Where elbows, knees, feet, ankles, toes etc are all painful (not saying fingers are anymore painful) the gout seems to run its course and leaves.

My most painful finger has been the right ring, followed by the little finger and middle finger (this one really affects my communication with crazy drivers here in Virginia Beach). I hope you are seeing a Rheumatologist if not please do. There are other drugs on the market besides alopurinol (this one works fine for me) for treatment of gout. Good luck..

Very Respectfully,
Jeff

Well, Jeff. I know Va Beach is noted for many fine things, but I didn't know gout in the fingers was one of them. I too am in VB and for the first time have had gout in one of my fingers. It did last longer than it did in the foot. Since I am a northern transplant I would agree that the drivers here are crazy, but I am not one to communicate with the particular finger in which I had gout. :>

hi
i am also having pain, swelling and restricted movement in my right finger knuckle joint for last seven weeks now .am continuously taking pain killers and when the heat in joint went like one week ago the doctor put me on zyloric 100mg ,the pain swelling still r there ,though have decreased .am very much worrried
if any one of u could tell me about the duratiuon of gout attack in the affected finger and the type and duration of treatment that helped them ,i would be grateful.plllssssssssssssss help

you guys stop taking so much pain killers and meds. The most important and best way to fight gout is by what you eat and what you DON'T eat.

look up all of the lists of foods you can eat online and follow them religiously, this is the only safe haven for us who suffer from gout, TRUST ME.

once your diet is balanced, you'll be so thankful for the pain free life you will be living that the food you eat is a BLESSING.

PS. I've had it in my toe and fingers as well, I'm not sure but I think sometimes even in my elbow, it gets to the point whre I don't even know what is what pain anymore but the fingers usually comes suddenly mostly in my thumb, index and middle fingers, so odd that it doesn't come in the ring and pinky fingers.
