Gout

[oddfellows]

I've had gout several times, a heart attack (had a stent), prostate cancer and vertigo over the last years.

Of them all, vertigo was the worst, followed by gout.

By the way I was wide awake when they inserted the stent at Wythenshawe who were 1st class.

I still put it down to watching City down the years lol. Wouldn't change a thing though. Rags to riches?

I have had gout in the past, not as bad as some on here by the sound of it. Also had kidney stones twice and never felt pain like it. Anyone who has had gout will know it is important to try and avoid certain foods, but what is absolutely vital is to drink at least 2 litres of plain water, that's 3.5 pints daily. May seem hard at first but many guys have no problem shifting 3 and a half pints of beer a day. I drink around 2 litres of water a day and rarely have any gout twinges. If I do a Naproxen tablet soon sorts out any uric acid build up but drinking water is so good for many things and I can't stress that enough!

Sleep in

Looks like I got away with it this time, just don’t mention the word!
The mods should put a health warning on this thread.

Foot red and very hot and painful!
Thing is I eat healthy and drink lots of water!!
Why always me!?

Its hereditary mostly. Diet can effect but its not the main thing.

Just experiencing my first case of gout. Assumed I'd broken my toe (but had no recollection of how) but I'm seeing a doctor and she reckons it's gout. It's horrendous pain - can't walk.

Hadn't even considered it could be that as I'm only 32, and - a few days in Porto notwithstanding, the healthiest I've been in the last decade. Gout has always sounded like an old man problem. Fuck sake I hate getting old.

The doctor told me I might have gout last year. Turned out it was a posterior tibial tendonitis and I just had to rest up and do some calf exercises.

Not sure what the moral of the story is here, other than I'm never seeing that doctor again.

It’s not always lifestyle it could be hereditary, looks like water diet for you in the future got to flush those crystals away.

I've been on Allopurinol now for a few months and so far so good.

I had it in my mid 20’s. Was pretty fit at the time and was certain I must have broken my toe playing football. Had it on and off for a couple of weeks I think but have never had it since.
