I have had several gout attacks, foot, knee, and elbow, and usually they are accompanied by a mild fever. Until now I could never find anything on the web where someone else had the same experience. Right now I am suffering from a gout attack in my ankle that has lasted several weeks. Drinking lots of water – taking Vitamin C, (??), and going out today to get some Aleve to see if that helps since I ran out of Ibuprofen.
