Gouty Tophi Surgical Treatment...

Gouty tophi is a very complicated condition, for most people, it may not affect much on their daily life except the not so nice looking lumps on the surface of on the skin. But if a gouty tophus is growing on some important musculoskeletal structures such as ligament, cartilage, tendon and bone, it may cause serious problem in the long run and can possible cripple the patient. If you suspect there is some urate crystals form in the above mentioned place that makes you hard to move certain part of your body, then you should seek help of professional surgeon to remove it before the tophus grows further. 
There are 2 types of gouty tophi, semiliquid soft and solid hard. It is easier to remove a tophus when it is in semiliquid form, simply by making a small incision to leech out white milky fluid filled with fine urate crystals. But if the tophus is already solid hard, the surgery will be more complicated because the solid tophus may have encapsulated some blood vessels, nerves and muscles during its growth. Thus, a very detailed diagnosis and mapping of the gouty tophus has to be conducted before any surgery is recommended. 
Here are some conditions in which a gouty tophi surgical treatment is urgently needed:
  • The tophus is causing immense pain frequently.
  • The tophus can possibly cause skin ulceration (burst).
  • The tophus is infected and there are sinuses.
  • The tophus has cause serious physical damage to the joints.
If you are suffering from any of above mentioned conditions, kindly seek professional consultation in the nearest hospital before your condition get worse.

How Can Gouty Tophi Be Dissolved Naturally?

The answer is... YES! But it's going to take as much time as the gouty tophus took to form to the current stage. Take a look a the video below to get an idea that gouty tophi can be dissolved naturally. But before we can talk about dissolving the existing gouty tophi, we have to focus how to stop the further formation or growth of the tophi FIRST. It makes no sense if you are try to dissolve on one end while it's still growing on the other end. First of all you have to stop eating all high purine foods or foods that are known to be able to trigger gout attack. Then you will have to start consuming more alkaline foods , generally are mostly green leafy vegetables to increase the alkaline minerals content in the body. Alkaline minerals play a very important role in 'pulling' the uric acid molecules out from the giant crystal unit of gouty tophi, alkaline mineral serves as a powerful magnet that can disengage the building blocks of the gouty tophus.

Can I Take Colchicine and Ibuprofen Together?

Do you believe that we have survival instincts? Surely, this is one of the controversial psychological and physiological topic that garnered controversy. Nowadays, it is almost explainable by a solid scientific proof. Pain and stress are two of the aspects of our fight-and-flight mechanism that can force us to do something about what is causing them. At times, they come as a powerful combination when pain is the root cause of stress. However, there can be these unfortunate times that no matter how much we desire to remove the pain, we can do nothing. One such instance is during gout attacks. Surely enough, the pain indicates that something is not supposed to be in there, but we are left helpless. We can’t just cut our limbs off to remove the pain. Hence, the idea of taking multiple medications to ease the pain was born (even if those medications were not prescribed at all). This article aims to answer the question “can I take colchicine and ibuprofen together?” ...

This article aims to answer the question “ What is the use of zyloric ?” Zyloric for GOUT fills me with DOUBT Sometimes, when you ask a gout sufferer “Hey, what is the use of Zyloric?”, they end up saying “Zyloric lowers uric acid!
