One Says Gout, One Says Not

I'm 27 years old, 178cm (5" 10') and 73kg (161lb) and I don't drink alcohol.

I had my first gout attack 2 weeks ago in bed.
The pain was... Fatal... Even the slightest touch from my blanket caused a spike of extreme pain as if it's not painful enough.
I broke many bones, tore ligaments.. Got my finger bitten off by my own dog.. But nothing even compares to the gout pain.

So the next morning, I went to the hospital, got my uric acid checked and it was 7.9, I had redness with a little swelling on my baby toe joint.

I took the usual drugs, indomethacine, colchicine, muscosta and miracid (i have ulcer).

The pain disappeared in 3 days. Then a couple of days later, the pain started to come back but wasn't all that painful.. It was just a mild pain around the baby toe joint area. It was just uncomfortable to stand or walk.

Then last night (2 weeks since first attack) I got the same killer pain back during 2am. I couldn't get any sleep due to the pain and I also ran out of medication.

Today, I went to another hospital from my first gout attack.
This is where the problem starts.
The doctor does not seem to be convinced that I have gout.
The new doctor thinks it's something else and wants to check the blood? In the joint. (like.. Extract fluid from my joint)

i live in thailand... Although the medical technology is supposed to be fairly good, i've been misdiagnosed couple of times thus have lost my faith in thai doctors.

I don't want to go through that painful fluid extraction from the joint just to find out I do have a gout, which the first doctor already told me.

Is there any other (less painful way) to check for gout?
I don't like big needles....
