You're very clean thinking Right Now, I was thinking of something totally different

Fortunately my bowels have remained in the clockwork fashion that I've been accustomed to over the years......So far! Right Now....

Re: Gout! Again....

Oh that sounds miserable OGF, hope it doesn't take too long to clear up again. I've never had gout in my foot, the more traditional site for this, but I had it in my shoulder once - well according to my GP that's what it was, and who am I to argue? It was excruciating, I couldn't move my left arm more than about 3 inches forward of the shoulder joint. How I drove home from work on the day it was at its worst, I'll never know - changing gear was a challenge!!

Re: Gout! Again....

Thanks Pixie, Mags and Bathsheba...

I had a similar experience to you Bathsheba, I had to drive yesterday to pick up my prescription and stock up on supplies from Tesco, and it was so painful pressing the clutch pedal down. I bet people thought that I was a learner, grinding the gears.... One of the few times I wish my car was an automatic....

I can remember thinking exactly the same thing! My pain lasted for 3 weeks and then disappeared as fast as it arrived. But I had to rely on lifts for those 3 weeks.

Re: Gout! Again....

Hope it's easing off a bit now Foxy.

Did the doctor prescribe colchicine?
