Mike - I was so excited to get the boot off and walk in a normal shoe that I forgot to ask for the screws!!!

Now I have GOUT in my other foot... It sucks to get old. Gout is more painful than a broken ankle. Back in the chair

Got some gout pills that are helping quite a bit. This is my first battle with Gout. They say it is recurring. The biggest trigger for Gout is... Wait for it.... BEER!

This is NOT good.

OWWW ... EWWW ... gout is the worst kind of pain.

It's a buildup of uric acid crystals in the joint along with the tenderness and inflammation. It's associated with alcohol use but there can be different dietary triggers like dairy foods & meat proteins.

You wanna have the doc check your liver function and see if the bile ducts are blocked. You kinda need that liver thing to keep living.

I hope it passes soon pj.
