How to Remove Tophi On Elbow

Gouty tophi that grows on joint is the most annoying type of tophi lump. It is fine when the size is small, but as it increases its size to become a protrude structure, this tophi lump will affect the movement of that particular joint and eventually prevent the joint from moving at all! Among the "common joints" of tophi formation are on the fingers and elbow. 

Gouty tophi only happens on people who have been suffering from gout or hyperuricemia for a long period of time (more than 5 years), but tophi on elbow usually happen when high uric acid was left untreated for more than 10 years. That's why we only see tophi on elbow on older gout patients. 

Unlike tophi lumps around fingers, people tend to ignore the growth of tophi on elbow. This is because tophi lump usually grow at the back of the elbow and the patient himself seldom sees it in his daily activities, even when they are standing in front of a mirror (unless when he is tying a tie). The patient only realize how serious  tophi on elbow is when this lump is affecting the free movement of the elbow or it grows so big and very uncomfortable to live with it. 

If you are wondering how to remove tophi on elbow, the answer is very straight forward, surgery. It's almost impossible or its going take very long time in order to shrink or dissolve the tophi on elbow with the help of alkaline water or ionic calcium. The most practical solution is to first go through a physical surgery to remove the stone and then control the uric acid level with the help of alkaline ionic calcium water in order to prevent the re-growth of the gouty tophi. 

The problem with hyperuricemia is that it doesn't bring any discomfort or pain at the early stages, but when the symptoms such as gout attacks or tophi occurs, it means the uric acid level is already very high and it's going to take some time to reverse the process. Of course, this reversal process can be sped up with the help of alkaline ionic calcium, but do bear in mind that you might need to go through some healing crisis in order to flush the uric acid out from the body. You either bear with the healing crisis pain now or deal with never ending gout pain for the rest of your life.

How Temperature Affects The Formation of Gouty Tophi?

Have you ever wondered why gouty tophy only found on certain parts of the body such as earlobe, fingers, elbow, knee, and almost only on the surface of the skin. Before I explain about this phenomena, I have to briefly discuss about the heat regulation of human body. Every cell in the body does generate energy and some heat in the process of metabolism, but for a healthy human body, majority of the body heat is generated in organs that are constantly working such as heart, liver, and brain, thus the center of heat is in the torso and and middle of the head. But there must be some channels for the body to dissipate excess heat in order to maintain the body temperature at 37.5 degree Celsius.  The 3 Channels of Body Heat Dissipation Heat Distribution Put a hand close to your mouth or nose and then slow breathe out, you can feel the warm air blowing on you hand, that is heat dispersion through breathing. If you dare, try to collect your pee in a paper cup and then dip...

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?” ...
