Gout

Probably the best advice, mistook my first flare up with a knock as it was after playing a match on a Saturday, avoided allopurinol as I didn't want to be taking tablet's every day, finally went on it, 100mg (1 tablet ) a day and never looked back, still get twinge now and again but not a full blown attack..It’s horrific, I take allopurinol every day and luckily I haven’t had a flare up for a few years. Usually affects my big toe but before I knew i had gout I spent a night in hospital with an unbearable pain in my knee
Feel sorry for anyone who gets it, feels like a broken limb without so much as a bump.

I thought it was an inconvenience. So when i joked about having it (i bashed my ankle so it was sore and stiff) to a mate his reaction took me back a bit. He seemed like i had told him i had a serious condition. So i took that as a note to possibly not use that joke around my more mature mates who have or have had it.
For context i was using the term as if i was a fat old rich person who only ate game meat and drank brandy.

Its impossible to describe the pain of gout to somebody who has never had it, its horrific putting it mildly

My Dad had it, I always thought he was being a big baby. Apparently not.

Is it hereditary? my dad suffered from it, i’ve had few attacks last couple yrs? its agony!! i like a beer but wouldn’t consider myself a huge drinker? neither was my late dad, i’d say i eat fairly healthy as wellMy Dad had it, I always thought he was being a big baby. Apparently not.
It’s fucking horrible. Had it flare up about 18 months ago and it literally left me bed bound for 3 days. Comes and goes now every few months but only tends to last 48 hrs.
I’m lucky that I don’t need to be anywhere in particular when it hits so just rest it up. Feel sorry for those who have it for any sustained period because if it’s anything like mine there’s fuck all work going to get done by the person affected.

No idea mate. I've never had it (that I know of) and my Dad wasn't a big drinker either.
