Case Summary | Massage for Gout
| Condition | General Gout |
| Case Description | The pain started in my big toes, then radiated to my upper legs over the next few weeks. A massage relieved all the radiated pain, then Ibuprofen relieved the pain in my toes. I have had a few big gout episodes over the last few years, controlled by massage therapy, self massage, and Ibuprofen. The excercise was to get my blood flowing. The massage was a lifesaver! The massage did more to help than any other treatment. The Ibuprofen helped with the pain. |
