※ This video is an excerpt from Master Doctors - Gout, Targeting You , which aired on February 21, 2025. Medicine to Pharmacists, Gout to Rheumatologists A man in his 50s has worked as a firefighter for 30 years. Due to the nature of his job, which requires him to pour tremendous energy into a single dispatch, he usually enjoyed foods such as sundaeguk (blood sausage soup), naejangtang (offal soup), and seolleongtang (beef bone soup), and he typically ate meat at company dinners with colleagues. Then, late the year before last, he suddenly experienced leg pain. Although he usually avoided hospitals even for moderate pain, he tried to endure it, but the persistent, severe pain eventually led him to visit a hospital. He thought he was getting better after taking the prescribed anti-inflammatory painkillers, but four weeks later, pain severe enough to make it impossible to breathe recurred continuously. After going from hospital to hospital, he was diagnosed with gout. Since then, whenever he suffered a gout attack, he was either rushed to the hospital or forced to walk around at home using crutches. Although he had been receiving treatment at an orthopedic clinic as a temporary measure, he decided to visit a rheumatology clinic due to concerns about his kidney health and various other test results. Why should a gout patient visit a rheumatology clinic? Are you not taking gout medication? Is it possible to go without medication if you diligently manage your diet and exercise? A man in his 40s who runs a cafe with his wife has suffered from chronic nodular gout for over 10 years. He has even called 119 urgently due to gout attacks and has hovered between life and death. Since then, he developed a kind of "phobia"; he would take his medication in advance at the slightest sign of pain, and whenever he took emergency medicine, he would feel extremely anxious and compulsively feel the need to get medication from a hospital immediately. It was only after he began attending a rheumatology clinic and taking medication that he was able to escape the fear of gout attacks and experience a sense of liberation, feeling that "I can finally live." Once hyperuricemia develops, uric acid levels do not easily decrease even with proper management of diet and lifestyle, and they rise again if medication is stopped. So, how should gout be managed? Methods for effectively managing and maintaining gout in daily life, as told by renowned doctors! ✔ Program Name: Master Doctors - Gout, Targeting You ✔ Broadcast Date: February 21, 2025 #ebshealth #health #ebs #masterdoctors #gout #purines #uricacid #uricacidlevels #arthritis #joints #pain #rheumatism #rheumatoidarthritis #goutattack #attack #inflammation #diet #eatinghabits #meat #alcohol #drinking #goutsymptoms #goutcauses #gouttreatment #gouttreatmentmethods #goutmedication
