I need relief.

Bigredtoe. I sympathize. I've been there. What works quickly for me is Pantothenic Acid. (B5) You need to get tablets at least 500MG. I took it at night before bed, by itself. I had neighbor that mowed my lawn. The mother had gout so bad she was in a wheelchair most of the time. I sent son home with envelope with five tablets with instructions... Told her what it was, but to call a pharmacist and tell him what meds she was taking to be sure it was okay for her to take, because I'm not a doctor. Eight days later son showed up, in a panic, wanted to know what it was, the brand and where to get it, because it helped tremendously and pain was back since she ran out. She was on celebrex. She continued to take it, finally told her dr and he took her off the drug.
There was a man that came around and audited a few days each six months at place I worked. He had torn achilles tendon, surgery, drs tried three types of arthritis drugs, nothing worked. Wore a boot and was told he'd have to live with it. I told him same thing.. Take B5. Next six months when he showed up - no boot and no pain. He couldn't thank me enough.
It also helped take down swelling in my mother's foot when she broke a bone.
