During a gout attack, rest, keep body weight off the joints and drink large amounts of water.
-
Step 3
Ease the pain of osteoarthritis with an anti-inflammatory, such as aspirin.
-
Step 4
Use corrective aids such as "toe sleeves" to help relieve discomfort.
-
Step 5
Ask your doctor about the option of surgery in severe cases.
-
Step 6
If you have rheumatoid arthritis, try to stay relaxed, as the condition can be triggered by emotional stress.
-

-
Step 8
