• Old thread dredge alert!

    Foot agony (big toe actually) means I can't ride or walk very easily. Semi-educated, self-diagnosis of gout due to location of pain/swelling + type of pain + onset of signs/symptoms + family history of at least 2 generations both sides (needs proper medical confirmation obvs).

    Has anyone any experience of gout and management/treatment of it? I am not overweight. I don't drink much or eat badly (mainly vegetarian + low in purines + Mrs C00ps is vegan and manages the shopping) and I didn't over-indulge at Christmas either.

    Advice much appreciated, as I'm already laying off the port and it hurts like a bastard!

  • Go to the Dr.
    The differential for a hot, swollen joint is quite extensive.
    The damage caused by it can be quite severe.
    If it is gout, the treatment pathway is quite well established and effective.
