@andy77,
Hello,
Gout can be a very painful experience. Most of my patients who suffer from gout complaint is that gout affects their life style. They can't enjoy simple activities and their work is affected due to the pain and the restriction afflicted on the joint by the inflammation.
If you suffer from gout, you can go for treatment methods like physiotherapy, diet restriction and medication. They produce results, but not long lived results. Surgery is also an option for the degenerated joints.
Another treatment option my patients have had great results with is regenerative treatment, which includes: stem cell treatment and platelet rich therapy. It is a medical leap, actually and its results are very promising. I would strongly recommend it for gout patients.
The accumulation of the uric acid in the joints produces severe inflammation. We can combine stem cell treatment and platelet rich therapy, so the stem cells can repair the damaged tissue inside the joints, while platelet rich therapy reduces the inflammation produced.

It is important to choose the right doctor when you choose to undergo regenerative treatments, however as only few surgeons around the world master this type of treatment. Several patients have had great results with Dr. Purita who is considered a pioneer in Stem Cell Orthopedic Surgery, actually. In any case, you need stem cell doctor who is also an orthopedic surgeon, not generalized stem cell doctors.
All the best.
