I have a Doctors appointment in a few days (as soon as they could get me in). I have an incredible pain and inflamation in my left big toe that swells as the day goes on. I must admit that my diet and alcohol consumtion as of late could be the culprit. I have cut out the sweets and alcohol, is there anything else I can do if it is gout to alieviate the swelling by diet or consuming large amounts of liquids etc.? I need some relief while I wait for my appointment!

If it is this painful, you should go to a walk-in clinic or and emergency room.
