L/A,, Had 3 gout attacks yrs ago.
Worst pain I think I've ever had and I had a broken back, busted knee. Shingles, and other broken bones.
If the DR couldn't help me get relief.
... I was ready to cut my big toe off..
Allopurinol pill daily now keeps it under control and from future attacks.
Colchicine, .. A really cheap little pill from the Dr will relieve a gout attack really fast if Ur not on Allopurinol.

<p>I have arthritis in my left hand and tendonitis in my left wrist and right elbow. I was worried bout ridin 6-9 hours a day for 8 days last summer until I found this-<br /><br />Not a cure but sure feels better. I was able to ride all day 95% pain free. YMMV but works for me and my wife's COOKING elbow, as well as her neck/shoulder pain. I use it every day and it doesn't take that much.</p>

I see that you're a computer person, as am I. I worked for years in a chemical plant managing process control systems.
I used to get the same elbow pain. I finally figured out that it was caused by right arm position while sitting on the couch and using my laptop on the side table. That left my arm in an angle that placed the inside bone on my elbow joint resting on the table. If I spent too many hours sitting like that (which I definitely do) my elbow would hurt the next day.
I adjusted the feet on the couch to raise the whole thing up about 1 1/2" and the elbow pain is gone.
Just thought it might be similar for you. Maybe a small gel pad for your elbow?
