Too many flare ups?

I (38M) have been seeing a foot specialist who has referred me back to my GP for Allo but I haven’t been in to see them yet.

Currently they have me prescribed to Colchicine but it doesn’t seem to do the trick and makes me hobble to the bathroom.

My concern is that I seem to have flares about once a month lately.

For a long time I didn’t even know (or at least believe) it was gout. But it was never this frequent.

Reading this board it seems like most people are only having 1-2 per year on average. Has anyone else had this many/this frequently?
