Tart cherry juice!
I guess my dad was wrong. Choking the chicken will not cause blindness, but it does cause gout. Get well, from a gout free person, but slowly loosing my eyesight.
When I had my vasectomy. The pain med didn’t work.
This! I take tart cherry extract capsules in addition to allopurinol and no flare ups in 7-8 years. Cherry extract is a natural anti inflammatory. Best of luck.
@Snattlerake says "just rub some dirt on it." Yeah, I know, he has a history of causing trouble.
I e had flares in the ankle, and also knees. I think knees are the worst. There are some new gout meds out, have you looked into those?
No, maybe I should.
Like many here, I have cases of gout that flare up 2 or 3 times a year. They usually effect my big toe and hurt like a bastard for a few days. After about 8 years or so, I've learned to recognize it when it comes along and act accordingly.
However...
I woke up Sunday morning with a new flare up. This one is in me ankle. Let me tell ya...you think the toe hurts? Holy sheet! I can barely walk! I've hobbled around here all week with a cane and I feel like I'd be better off in a pine box!
For me fellow believers out there, I indeedly covet your prayers. This is awful, just awful.
Wait till it hits you in the knee and it swells up like a basketball.
