How to Work with Gout Pain in Foot

[arthur]

I'm new to the forum and hope someone can help me.Monday I woke up and my right foot was just killing me for no reason. I went to work that night and by the time I got off (I work 12 hour nights) my right foot hurt so bad I could not stand to walk on it. Plus it was swelled up so bad I had a hard time just getting by boot off. I came home went to bed thinking it would be better that night. But it was not. It was all I could do to work the 12 hours that night and my foot was really swelled up then. So I went to the doctor and they did a blood test and said I had gout. They put me on indomethacin to help but could offer no more help on how to cope with it. I was off wednesday & thursday but have to work all weekend. Is there any thing I can do to help with the pain? 12 hours on my feet for 3 nights in a row I'm not sure I can take that. Hope someone can help.Any info would be great.
Thanks
Arthur
