justin Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 It is sooo f'n painfull! I've had it in the past, but the pain has never been this bad. I just got back from the doc and he confirmed it and gave me some Celebrex and a shot of cortizone. The shot has not kicked in yet, but it F'N HURTS! I knew that I shouldn't have had that steak at lunch.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Oven Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Bummer. That means you'll have to cut down on beef and brown liquor, and that's no fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoperat Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 The first time I got it, it was in both feet. Couldn't even walk. Wife had to rent crutches just to get me to the doctor. Now, when I feel it coming on, I take 800 mg of Ibuprofen and it takes care of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cre8tiff Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I'm a little lazy tonight anyone want to describe gout? It's the concrete stuff you put between tiles. Sh!te must really hurt when it's in your feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 It's the concrete stuff you put between tiles. Sh!te must really hurt when it's in your feet. That is grout. gout In a nutshell it is inflammation/swelling/stiffness usually in the big toe caused by too much uric acid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big John Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Also happens frequently to heavy drinkers I've been told? yes, as this is a cause of less control of this acid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 I'm a little lazy tonight anyone want to describe gout? It's the crystalization of uric acid in joints. In my case, the acid has created sharp crystals (like broken shards of glass) in the joint that operates my big toe. Uric acid is in many foods, including red meat, asparagis and certain alcohals. Most people can process the uric acid in a timely fashion and piss it out. did i mention that it's f'n painfull? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montster Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 last year, when i was still working, my mom came out for about seven weeks to watch our baby when my wife's maternity leave ended and we were still figuring out the daycare situation. in that time my dad developed gout and his stomach ulcer started bleeding again. that'll teach her to leave him!
