Change your diet plan. Avoid the intake of red meats, shellfish, beer, red wine and salt. First, pain relievers such as acetaminophen/Tylenol or other more potent analgesics are used to manage pain.
Secondly, anti-inflammatory agents such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), colchicine, and corticosteroids are used to decrease joint inflammation.
