My introduction to it came at age 41. Like you, it was the worst pain of my life, bar none including a near amputation crush of a leg and knee in a farm accident.
As to dealing with it, doc told me a few tips. Some worked, some didnt. As she explained it to me there are two ways to attack it, decrease the amino acidics that cause the crystals to precipitate and lowering the level of the acids in blood. I've eliminated high fructose corn syrup from my diet, which is harder than one thinks. Even most ice cream has it in it. I also reduced the amount of shell fish I eat, to once per week, reduced beer consumption to 6 or less per week, and increased water intake to not less than a gallon per day. When I have a flair up she told me to drink nothing but coffee, tea (neither sweetened), red wine, and water. So far, since I figured out that high fructose corn syrup is my trigger and eliminated it from my diet I havent had any more problems. Cutting out regular soda was easy but the stuff with it in there by stealth was harder, ice cream, chocolate syrup, pan cake syrup, and cranberry juice cocktail snuck me an outbreak.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
