Gout – Get Relief, Just a Tap Away

“Got Gout? Tap into Relief with Tap Telehealth!”

Alright, let’s talk about gout – that painful condition that can make your joints feel like they’ve been hit by a tiny hammer. Whether it’s from diet, genetics, or some other cause, gout can be a real pain, and make moving your joint feel like torture. And trying to fit in a doctor’s appointment when your joint is inflamed is not fun at all.

But here’s the good news: Tap Telehealth is here to help established patients manage their mild gout flares with ease and convenience, right from your phone. You can get support and guidance without ever having to leave your home.

Getting help for gout with Tap Telehealth is super easy:

  1. Tap & Text: Reach out when you are having a gout flare.
  2. Chat with a Pro: Our Doctors will ask you about your symptoms, when they started, and if you have been diagnosed with gout in the past.
  3. Snap a Picture (If Needed): Sometimes, seeing is believing! If needed, your Doctor might ask for a picture of your affected joint.
  4. Personalized Recommendations: We’ll provide personalized advice on how to manage your symptoms.
  5. Medication Options: If appropriate, we can send in a prescription to help you feel better.
  6. When to Seek In-Person Care: We will help you determine if your symptoms require further in person medical attention.

While Tap Telehealth can help established patients manage mild gout flares, sometimes an in-person visit is needed. Here’s what to watch out for:

  • Severe Pain: If your pain is severe, not responsive to over the counter medication, or not improving, you should get evaluated in person.
  • Signs of Infection: If you notice swelling, redness, or pus around the joint, you should get evaluated in person.
  • Fever: If you have a fever with your joint pain you should be evaluated in person.
  • Symptoms Worsening: If your symptoms are not improving with treatment or are getting worse, you need an in person medical evaluation.
  • First Gout Flare: If this is the first time you are experiencing a gout flare, it is important to get evaluated in person to establish the diagnosis.

“We know how painful a gout flare can be, and we’re committed to providing you with the right care quickly and conveniently, so you can get back on your feet without having to disrupt your life. We’ll also help guide you on when it might be important to seek in person care.”
