Does gout pain last long?

Hello, I went to the doctor last week and he prescribed me medicines for my gout due to inflammation and pain (I tiptoed when I walked). The inflammation subsides as well as the redness and swelling but my question is, why does the pain still linger? I can now return to work but it still hurts a bit when walking and if my foot is pressed too hard on the ground. Btw, it's been a week now since the flare-up and almost a week since I took the medicine. Does anyone experience the same? If so, how did you manage the pain? And normally, how many will the pain will last? Ty for answering.
