Uncle Dave, For gout, you want to dissolve the uric acid crystals. The MD can prescribe allopurinol but the patient must also change diet and drink lots of liquids. Vinegar helps dissolve crystals, but sour cherry juice is more palatable.

The pain will eventually become numbness. Treat the pain. No, there is no cure.
