Went for a couple of fairly easy runs over the weekend, some of which 3-4km was along a coastal path but nothing wild and then in the day playing on the beach. I woke up with a pain in my right toe on Monday morning. I went to the gym and did an upper body workout and 30mins z2 ride. Tuesday morning toe was super painful, spoke with phone gp and they said it could be gout or a ligament damage. prescribed Naproxen. Tuesday night woke a couple of times due to the pain. Wednesday went to doctor. Said she thought it might be a fracture but could also be gout. Went for xray and blood tests. Pain has been less bad last 2 days but still very sore. xray confirmed no fracture and blood work came back normal. So could I have ligament damage that would only impact the right big toe? Cant really bend it and it is swollen. thoughts on a postcard plz...
I was worried it could be an issue with my kidney not processing uric acid bc my diet is definitely not that which gout is associated (no alcohol, mostly veg, very active etc)
