Gout!

Anyone suffer this painful condition?

Only ever suffered in the last couple of months but it is a bit like hemeroids in so far as, if you don't suffer from it, it's funny, if you do it's ******* painful!

Can hardly walk at the mo' and even the weight of the duvet causes intense pain; time to see the Doc tomorrow, methinks ...

Tell us your stories about gout or just have a good LOL at my suffering

........... until you get an attack.

ouch! ....oooh! .....argh! ..... fuuuuu! :eek:

or smack the other toe, then the gout wont hurt so much

Maybe the shotgun technique that the guy used on his wart?

....oooow!

Going to Docs this am to get pain relief and blood test so for those interested, I'll update how long it takes for pain to go after drugs ....

I've made it to 60 without getting it before so I suppose I've done ok but could do without it as it means that I can't work and only just had 3 weeks off (2 holiday and 1 clutch on van), so I won't be popular
