It's a long time since I have had a gout attack since I take allipurinol daily to prevent gout attacks. I think I recall despite pain that cold on the area - which usually is the big toe joint, helps ease the pain. You can use cold wash clothes to drape over foot area. You might find some relief to the pain, although it is uric cystals causing the inflamation and the cold does not reduce that kind of inflamation.
