I have gout as well, but have felt much better since my doctor prescribed the drug uloric for me.  I'm not a doctor, obviously, but you might want to discuss this medication with a doctor.   You say that your doctor prescribed the wrong medication, but did he make a mistake, or did it just not work for you?  Sometimes medications don't work through nobody's fault, and the proper medication and dosage is only found through trial and error.  If this was the case, you would not have any claim against your doctor.  If, however, the doctor made some sort of error that a competent physician should not have made, you may have a malpractice claim against him for the pain and suffering you suffered that could have been avoided if the doctor had acted with the proper degree of professional skill and care.
