Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Did NOT WORK for me. I had high hopes due to all the five star reviews and claims that pain went away immediately, but after examining those reviews I see that many of them are not even verified purchasers! Buyers beware when this is the case. I read their claims and was convinced (or desperate) this would help relieve my terrible gout attack. I realize that "results may vary" but it turned out to be a waste of $48 for me - what an expensive snake oil. I bought it because my gout pain was so bad I could not walk or put any sort of pressure on my left foot. I had already visited Urgent Care - they prescribed Indomethacin and administered a steroid injection. The Indomethacin ended up causing severe headaches and high blood pressure so had to end that. I finally got an appointment with primary care doc and he prescribed Allopurinol and one more shot of steroid, followed up by a pack of Methylprednisolone. This helped a lot finally - the pain was numbed but the swelling did not subside. After the Methylprednisolone pack was done the pain came back with a vengeance and I was desperate for a solution! That's when I saw the Uricel ads. I read and hoped, then late one night as my foot was throbbing and I could not get any rest, I went and ordered via Amazon app. The great thing was that it arrived same day so I was excited. I followed directions and took prescribed dose daily until the bottle ran out. There was absolutely no relief from pain. I was very disappointed because I bought into the ads and the unverified purchaser reviews. I came back once more to my doctor and he added Colchicine to my treatment, which I've been taking for two days. I'm also still taking Allopurinol daily 300mg. Finally I see some swelling go down, and every dose seems to help. I can walk (slowly) again with a slight limp. I just have to rehab my left calve since it seemed to atrophy. So in short, what truly helped in the end was Colchicine and Allopurinol combined. Science prevails. All this time, I've also been eating healthy and following gout dietary guidelines from Mayo Clinic. Drink lots and lots of water. I hope this helps somebody.
