She's had almost every disease ailment and broken bones kbown to womankind pal; )
On a serious note though you do know about health and nutrition and offer some good advice on here.
I've had mild gout about 4-5 times and got prescribed with Naproxen which helped.
I think it was because i was working away, often in remote locations and I
couldn't eat as healthily as i wanted.
I read up on gout and(like you said) changed my diet for the better. Started drinking plenty of bottled water and staying hydrated is key in helping to avoid gout. Same goes in avoiding kidney stones which I've suffered twice. I've never felt pain like it, so bad that if someone had passed me a gun I'd have shot myself!
Hmmm....maybe Raynauds or chilblains.Definitely worth investigating,but IME,if it is one of those.....both are almost impossible to treat.Is it weather related?
Last winter I had a slight reddening between my big toe joint and nail, bending my toe it felt like it was really stretching and painful, went away but this last week as it's got cooler it's come back.
Is this potentially an early sign of what's to come? I'm active, golf, eat pretty healthy and although I like a drink don't to excess unless on a Wembley trip.
Hoping I've not got years of pain ahead of me.

Like most blokes I will do.... probably later, against what I should do I'll likely leave it a couple of weeks and see if it goes. But I'll contact them in Oct if not cleared (I know if it does it'll come back again)....but 'like most blokes'.Book an appointment buddy,over a video link obviously.......
Not sure if I’m just lucky but my GP’s are happy to see you in person, they’ll probably want to give him a blood test anyway.Book an appointment buddy,over a video link obviously.......

Great to hear,the situation needs to return to normal(ish) asap.Not sure if I’m just lucky but my GP’s are happy to see you in person, they’ll probably want to give him a blood test anyway.
I’ve had a face to face 4 times in the last 8 months after a phone call, it’s worth pushing for if anyone wants one.Great to hear,the situation needs to return to normal(ish) asap.
The doctor should, I say should, recommend a blood test between flare ups. There's no use testing during an attack as the acid is no longer excessive in your blood by that point, it has crystallised in the joints. It was the third doctor I saw who told me this, the first two just advised rest and to go to A&E if it got bad. Wankers.Book an appointment buddy,over a video link obviously.......
