Dear Mr. lybrate-user, it seems you have gout, although you are quite young. You need several approaches to cure your gout (yes, gout is curable!). First is to treat the acute attack. Second is to prevent further attacks. Third is to bring and keep serum uric acid levels to normal levels. As far as diet is concerned, avoid red meat, sea food like shrimp, alcohol like beer, and soft drinks like pepsi and fanta. You should take the dash diet (you can google it). This diet is best not only for gout but also for general health. Lastly, you should look into any other diseases you may silently have like high cholesterol or high blood sugar. If you are overweight, weight reduction is important. Exercising once acute attack subsides is important.
