I'm off work sick with whats called 'The rich mans disease', ie GOUT!.
I get a belt of this about once or twice a year, mainly in the big toe of my left foot or the knuckles of my left hand. And I'll tell you bastards this much, you ain't experienced pain untill you've had Gout, so tonight before bed pray for the repose of Bouncers big toe!.
Ahhhhhhhhh Poor baby. You know my grandfather had a horse that kept having all sorts of ailments........he shot him.
Do we need to do that with you?
Seriously I hope that you feel better soon.
i thought only lunch ladies got the gout ?
I took a patient into the hospital with gout last week and he was a grown man just about in tears, the morphine helped a little bit.
I swear my dad is the toughest guy I know.. Had gout for two weeks.. went to the hospital, found out what it is, then went back to work and never really complained about it!! He eats a lot of garlic now and never has had it since
poor bro... a guy training with me had that...
Hope you get back up and going soon (old dude you :dg: )...or C.b';; take you out back and put two between the eyes
how do you get gout? I knew this crazy medic who told me that his dad got it from eating too much protein and that I shouldn't eat so much protein or I'd get it too. Like I said, guy was crazy.
My uncle has it so bad that when he gets an attack he practically crawls to wherever he wants to go,cripples him like crazy and the thing is that he refuses to take anykind of treatment for it.
It's caused by an excessive amounts of uric acid in the blood.Quote:

That plus a very high protein diet can cause it. But usually your pre-deposed to it. Someone mentioned crawling, well I'm not afraid to admit that in the past (before I got treatment for it) I had to crawl too. Its an unbelievable pain.Quote:
