Off Topic Gout

It was bordering on unbearable overnight and this morning, felt like i'd shattered every bone in my foot.

The ibuprofen is keeping it at bay for now, but it is still very stiff and tender.

Even though I’m a soft southern lager drinking man woman man .

Try having gout in both ankles at the same time and attempting to “ sleep “ with each foot in a bucket of water with ice in it .

The reason it’s sooo fing painful is that it is actual crystals in your joints !
 
This thread is like a weird montage of everyone’s ailments. Quite revealing and also worrying at exactly the same time.

But Gout being the topic has to be one of the highlights of the year. When you think about it.

So I hope you beat it: I feel like saying “you put your left leg in, your suffering with gout. In out in out, give that man a clout”

It's probably just ahead of Nev's self-inflicted traffic cone-related black eye accident.

But it doesn't compete with the self-inflicted zip-related genital-ripping incident. Now who was that again?

Drink some port to take the pain away

Beef carpaccio starter, surf & turf main, cheese & port to finish. Couple of beers before the meal, bottle of red to accompany it then finish with XO brandy.

Gout-tastic.

Then take more Naproxen than the box says.

I don't think diet has that much to do with it.

If it did, then most of the worlds population would have gout as the potential list of foods is basically everything apart from cherries.

I think it's genetic primarily, with certain things triggering it. For me it's beer/wine combined with a lot of walking in less comfy shoes. Of course, the NHS isn't going to say "don't walk as much when you enjoy a weekend sesh" and will instead purely blame the booze. If it was purely booze, then you'd see a lot more limping around football grounds every week, right? But seems to me more people are having cardiac arrests than bouts of gout.

I've had plenty of boozy weekends with no effect, then I'll have one weekend with a couple of nights of drinking - not even heavy - then if I'm in London walking to office meetings, it'll flare up. That's the closest I can get to science on it. The only thing that helps is heavy duty anti-inflam (Naproxen, Diclofenac). Funnily enough, I recently had it from this exact example and at the same time was feeling very Covid-y (tested negative); as a result, I still have discomfort and yesterday went for a ****ing toe x-ray! No results yet, but I know you're all mad keen to hear what happens next.
