Re: Gout! Again....
Oh dear Bob
I wonder if you were supposed to take the full course of colchicine tablets to ensure the gout was cleared. Time to ease up a bit and ensure yourself you are properly fit before you restart your distance runs.I hope all goes well for Mrs Fox with her procedure at the hospital tomorrow.

Although they didn't keep me awake (nothing much does) on my five or six visits to the toilet during the night after drinking copious amounts of water, I was hobbling proper. And it was even worse as I had to hobble around Tesco first thing this morning without the help of Mrs Fox....

Perhaps some of this on the link below will help, I will have a look next time I am shopping:

) for many years and until recently is manageable. Strangely, It doesn't bother me when I'm running but sometimes is difficult to decide whether the pain is coming from the bunion or the gout. I feel your pain though.....I could hardly walk this morning....

To be honest, the swelling on my left big toe joint has never really gone away, but the redness had subsided and it was a lot easier to walk on and even driving was better while operating the clutch.Last year I only took about four colchicine before the pain and swelling went away. This time round the colchicine hasn't worked so well, even after taking seven tablets, so I will finish the course. When they issue the colchicine they tell you to only take it until the pain subsides and not necessarily finish the course. Because I don't like taking any kind of medication I was probably a bit previous....
Thanks for wishing Mrs Fox well for tomorrow, I will pass on your good wishes Mags...

I hope you are rid of the pain soon....
Thanks for the link Baz, it's time to get serious, so I shall return to Tesco after lunch and purchase a carton of forsaid Cherry Juice, as well as the walnuts I forgot to get this morning.
Perhaps you might be interested in Walnuts, I take them every day on my porridge. I'll go find the link....
Enjoy....

A preliminary, small study in healthy adults showed that eating a walnut-rich meal prevented oxidative damage of “bad” LDL cholesterol after eating, whereas a refined-fat meal didn’t
That’s beneficial because oxidized LDL is prone to build up in your arteries, causing atherosclerosis (3Trusted Source, 5Trusted Source).

Maybe that could have been partly responsible for this latest attack? Hopefully though, for both of us, a return to painless walking (plus running in your case) will be the outcome. It certainly is extremely painful at first, in my case though it does ease throughout the day, with a lot of rest though.
I have noticed that gentle walking through the day does seem to loosen it up and make it less painful during the night.
That's why I thought it was time to start running again, but it was a mistake....

Thank you - no need to apologise.

Anyway OGF, take it easy and mind how you go with getting back to running – easy does it.
