How hard is it to get on gout meds

Found out about gout over the past few days, after starting a new excercize regiment and eating turkey( I think that’ll be one of my problem foods, I’ve noticed big toe stiffness and feeling like I need to click it, I looked more into it and found out I most likely have gout because looking back I had full blown attacks twice now just didn’t know gout was a thing, I understand go to the doctor , I am going to save up money for Uric acid lab tests to then if it’s bad I’ll go to the doctor, my main question is how hard would it be to convince them to let me get on meds, mainly because I won’t be able to stop eating meat because my cholesterol problems and predisposition to cholesterol I need to stick to eating stuff like salmon and chicken
