I encountered somebody who had lot of complaints: stomach aches, palpitations, head aches, migraines. Later I found out that he was on an NSAID, meloxicam, to remove inflammation and pain for gouty arthritis (meloxicam is for osteoarthritis)
The post lists serious side effect of the drug which may be causing many of the complaints: nausea, vomiting, chest pain, jaundice, allergic reactions, fever, head aches, sore throat, palpitation, or at worse, bleeding peptic ulcer.
The drug acts by blocking hormones that cause pain and inflammation.
For gouty arthritis, taking berries, cherries is one way of reducing pain and inflammation plus exercise and reducing foods rich in purines.

Gouty arthritis from Dr. Mercola
Live healthy and long
Gouty arthritis from Dr. Mercola
Gouty arthritis is supposed to be disease of the rich. Between 2 to 5 million Americans are afflicted by gout. It is characterized by painful condition usually characterized by painful joints and toes, arising from elevated uric acid levels known as hyper uricimia. The painful attack subsides in 3 to 10 days.
Uric acid comes from breakdown of amino acid and can be harmlessly passed by the kidney into the urine.
Hyperuricemia usually accompanies the following conditions:
l. Diabetes
2. High blood pressure
3. Kidney disease
4. Cancer treatment (in chemotherapy, there is high breakdown of cancer cells and the normal cells being destroyed by cancer cells result in high amino acid, protein breakdown)
SOME ADVICE:
1. Maintain ideal body weight (half of gout sufferers are overweight)
2. Exercise (as detailman of allopurinol, I know for a fact that uric level can be reduced by 30% on exercise alone)
3. Maintain a low purine diet
4. Lower uric acid by cherries and strawberry diet (rich in antioxidants)
5. 0 alcohol intake
6. Avoid sweet drinks or drinks with High Fructose Corn Syrup (studies show that those who take HFCS had 85% higher risk of gout)
Above all avoid the mainstream gout medicines as colchines, allopurinol, ibuprofen, NSAI, coricosterioids (cause hormonal imbalance) as they could have nasty side effect. You can treat gout naturally --> read further
