          Gout seriously sounds horrible… Canadian mate on another forum was describing the pain - fuck...

          Hang in there JSJ, and hopefully you'll be adequatelly treated...

            Good luck Joe! I have a friend who battles gout, and he gets by ok. He still eats the foods he's not supposed to in moderation, and has an occasional attack, but in general, he does quite well with it. I wish a very speedy recovery for you!

              Joe, you might as well go vegan.  Won't stop it, but might help control the attacks.

              But be careful with mushrooms, asparagus, spinach, lentils and black eyed peas, as these contain high amounts of purines.

              We're all pullin' for you man, I hope it gets better!

                Wish you were up here JSJ, I got some hippie shit that would help the pain.  And it's not just weed….(ask D666 for explanation).

                    It sounds like treatment/managability is much better now than it used to be, that's got to be of small comfort. Hope you kick it's ass soon. Feel better x0.

                          So, did a hot soak this morning to try and loosen it up, then finally got in to see my Doc. It's gout in both feet. Left, that was originally injured, is better. Right, my good foot, is unbearable. The weight of my comforter hurts. I've created a cane from a walking stick and am seriously hobbling around. I've had a shot of steroids, and now she put me on a pack. I'm taking 800mg of Motrin, 10-375 Loritab, and a bottle of cherry juice extract. Had blood drawn for a kidney/liver scan, and I'll find out more tomorrow.

                            Rough mate, sounds like you're getting good treatment at least (Have never heard of cherry juice extract, sounds interesting). Fingers crossed on the scans. (If you want any scifi book reccos, feel free to PM.)

                              All the best JSJ.  Pain is a hard thing to learn to live with.

                              I just had compression garments fitted from the knee down on my left leg to try and combat neuropathic pain from my bike injury nearly 5 years ago..  Im not sure how it will go, but its gotta beat long term narcotics.. if i can kick them that is.

                                    Thanks everyone for all the support. It's been a hard week and I really appreciate it. On top of the bum feet, Its happening at the worst time. I took over leadership at a new company and its like, "hey, is our new boss the young guy with the pimp stick?"

                                    Speaking of which, what do you think about this one?

                                            That is a straight pimping cane there Joe, get well mate. I had gout about a month ago, it was one painful M feckin few days, went to the Doc. He gave me some strong stuff, didn't feel much afta they kicked in. Funny thing is I hadn't been eating very much of the danger foods or drinking too much alcohol. I wasn't drinking enough water I reckon

                                            Peace

                                            Have a safe 2021 IH Peeps.

                                            Peace
