This is somewhat of a loaded question, overall. If we are speaking of an actual Gout "attack", then yes, for the most part, it will go away. Most [LINK NOT ALLOWED] will eventually subside, with or without treatment. The attacks will generally reach its peak 12-24hrs after onset and then slowly begin to resolve, usually with full recovery in one to two weeks. Some Gout sufferers only experience 1-2 attacks per year, and those that are lucky, only 1-2 times in their lifetime. However, chronic Gout sufferers can experience frequent attacks with very little time in between -- with some so unfortunate as to never have a full resolution of inflammation and pain in between attacks. This stage of chronic Gout can cause a great deal of joint destruction and even deformity once tophi (hard uric acid deposits under the skin) has formed.
