I have it primarily in my toe and it only flares up one or two times a year (but is HORRIBLE when it does). I have been taking Pantothenic Acid daily and haven't had a flare up since (have also been loosing weight so that may be it, too). Apparently pantothenic acid (a B vitamin) helps the body deal with uric acid.
