I am going through a gout attack in my toe, very painful for a week and now finally some relief after an emergency room diagnosed and prescribed Indomethacin + a pain killer.

My mother have severe swelling and pain in the primary toe of her left foot and in the ankle joint of her right foot. I am presently giving her 50 mg of Indocin twice daily and she have been drinking concentrated black cherry juice that is diluted with water.
