unending pain for over a week, which is not abated by medications or diet.

I (48M) have been experiencing unending pain for over a week. The trigger this time was a bowl of tomato soup that I indulged in.

But seven days later, I still can't walk, and nothing seems to make the pain go away. I have taken:

1. colchicine
2. Allopurinol
3. Multiple bottles of sour cherry juice
4. Copious amounts of painkillers

Nothing makes this attack go away, even after seven days. Furthering the irritation, I have already been on a vegetarian diet for over ten years, so there are no animal products or alcohol in my diet ever. I don't understand why my body seems to be so fragile.
