I have gout. My foot has swollen to twice its normal size and it is hot and firm. Should I be worried?

Were you diagnosed with gout? First of all, you should eating red meat and alcohol, as you should already know if you were diagnosed with gout. Second of all, is it literally twice the size of your normal foot? thats pretty huge. You're not going to die or anything but if you go to your doctor, he can prescribe you some gout medications.
