Re: Big toe pain
UPDATE:I finally was able to get thru to a social worker at my clinic and she made an appt for me on this past Saturday. The G.P Dr. also agreed with everyone who said "gout". She placed me on Colchicine for 5 days plus 3,000 mg of Acetaminophen/day.
Within 24 hours the redness and swelling had subsided and the pain has now lessened.
The blood test results for uric acid will be available this coming Thursday. Thank heavens she did not want to use a syringe, into the joint, to withdraw any uric acid crystals. That sounds like it would have been extremely painful.

Had gout a few years ago could only walk on one foot the other I dragged along.
Went to doctor and said I had gout he told me to take my shoe and sock off and said you have got gout gave me a perception and two days later no more pain.
My son in law has to take the tables every day as he has a chronic case of gout.

Re: Big toe pain
Talked with my Dr today and she wants me to stop eating so many different things: red meat, shell fish, cheese, sodas, pasta, bread, and all desserts, etc. In short, everything I love.Good heavens, speaking as a cook, if I were to do that, it would take away much of my reason for living.
