Would cutting down on the red meat help?I would greatly appreciate an eradication because it's absolutely miserable.Gout for some reason always feels to me like a Ye Olde Tyme disease that people shouldn't get any more, like rickets or scurvy.

I mean yea but come on let's be realistic here.

I ended up hitting it with naproxen, topical NSAID, and a heating pad, and was able to play dek hockey relatively pain free.
Of course, because this is how things work, I scheduled an appointment with my PCP to have it checked out, and I have no symptoms today.
So now I'm left wondering what the hell my issue was yesterday morning

My strep symptoms started Tuesday night and I started antibiotics Wednesday. I don't feel as awful but throat and head are still bad... any of you internet doctors think I should hammer a dose of prednisone if I have it laying around?

That's how quickly mine will come and go, and getting up and moving seems to help about 70% of the time. I'd still go see the doc and let them know. Mine gave me a specific pain pill to take as needed that knocks it out pretty quickly.I ended up hitting it with naproxen, topical NSAID, and a heating pad, and was able to play dek hockey relatively pain free.

Yeah he gave me a script for the med you mentioned yesterday and a blood panel in 2 weeks so I guess we'll see what's up.

I destroyed my ankle back in High School and every few years since, I re-injure it.
Yesterday when I was out walking the dog and a half mile from home was every few years. Hobbled it since you can’t really ride a cocker spaniel.
FML.

Went to get an X ray on the foot to rule things out. Pretty sure I was the youngest patient there by about 25 years.

Compound Fractured mine during my senior year and haven't been right since. I know the pain, sadly. Get better!I destroyed my ankle back in High School and every few years since, I re-injure it.

It's a lot better today, should be able to mow with a brace on it. It's funny, it goes out in the most innocuous ways possible. Just walking the dog, not even really uneven sidewalk, boom. Meanwhile I was moving boxes and furniture up and down stairs all afternoon last weekend and no issues at all.Compound Fractured mine during my senior year and haven't been right since.

I'd wear a brace all the time but after a couple hours it starts to dig into the back of my ankle and hurts more than the actual injury.

Yea about once a month or so, it just locks up and I can barely move it. I've got nasty arthritis in it already that makes it just an absolutely nightmare some days.

@mac5155 when your gout flares up, does it bruise?

Warm to the touch and a little red. I've never had a bruise though@mac5155 when your gout flares up, does it bruise?
Blackjack's Thread of Illness and Ailments
Hmm...
I had what may have been a flare up last Sunday (the 9th). Felt it coming on for 2 days. Xray and bloodwork I got on the 7th showed nothing/weren't exactly conclusive. Bruises started showing on Monday/Tuesday, and although the pain was gone by Saturday, it flared back up yesterday and was uncomfortable today.
Have to wait til the 26th to see a specialist, but now I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't gout and something was missed on the Xray.

Tart cherry extract pills from Walmart. I usually do 2 pills twice a day. Ibproufen (short of an Indocin scrpit) for pain.

Specialist said it was a prolonged gout attack, and hit me with a cortisone shot, which is probably one of the worst types of pain I've ever felt. Almost vomited waiting for the pressure and pain to subside post-shot
Blackjack's Thread of Illness and Ailments
Did the shot go in the painful area? I can only imagine because it hurts to lightly touch my toe when I have a flare up
Blackjack's Thread of Illness and Ailments
Right in the joint, then spread through that side of my foot for about 10 seconds. And agreed, because I brushed my toe off a step last night and almost couldn't make it up the last 2.
Blackjack's Thread of Illness and Ailments
I haven't had a good Ole big toe flare up in quite some time. Now it usually comes in my ankle.

Reached into the convection oven/air fryer last week, burned the top of my wrist pretty badly. Started to hurt worse and swell over the weekend, so I went to urgent care yesterday. Yep...it's infected. Ten days of antibiotics.
Not sure if I've ever had any wound get infected...it's fairly gross although it's at least scabbed over.
