Hello~I am 53 years old I have been diagnosed with gout even though a blood test for uric acid came out negative. I have had terrible inflammation in my metatarsal phalangeal joint and the smaller joint closer to the tip of my big toe. I have had a cortisone shot in each. I don't drink, eat shellfish and have a mostly plant based diet. I do have hypertension however and am terrified that maybe I have hurt my kidneys because I take the lowest dose of hypertension medicine.
I've had GOUT for 7 yrs with attacks every 6 months until last year. Started with 100mg allopurnol last summer. All was quite. Dec had a serious attack and after 1-month of trying Indomethecine then Prednisone I received a cortozone shot and allopurnol was increased to 400mg. Uric acid is now down to 4.6 from a high of 6.9 in Dec.
tall, and about 250 pounds (in process of losing weight). He had a gout attack in September on his knee, and it was very painful for him. He went to his doctor and was diagnosed with gout. Since then, he only had one gout-like attack (not painful at all) on the toe next to his big one, and only lasted a couple of hours. He isn't complaining about pain or anything, thankfully.. but I am still worried about gout in general.
0 or over for the past two years, causing no problems until now, I am getting gout. I have been on Allopurinol and had two rounds of steroids and within three days of being off the steroids my gout returns. I don't drink, or eat a much meat and have increased my vitamin C to 1500 mg a day, is there anything else I can do?
I was recently diagnosed with gout and although I do have pain in my big toe (mainly left, but also some in right), I'm having more trouble with my fingers - they are where the pain is worst and where I've got some tophi. How common/uncommon is it to have gout more in the fingers than the toe? I know it can affect other joints other than teh big toe, but just not sure how common it is and if it makes it any more difficutl to treat?
I used to get a 2-3 wk debilitating gout attack 2-3 times a year for 10 years, either in the heel, top of foot, and under knee cap. I had an aspiration which showed the crystals to confirm the diagnosis. But now I am in pretty good shape - it has been only one short lived attack in 3 years. Knock on wood! My solution has been one tiny .6mg colchicine every night and a big glass of water. I also stay away from beer but have a glass of wine a couple times a week - no problem.
I have reoccurance of Gout every time I eat liver, liverwurst, cabage or spinach. I personally do not know about other drugs.
My friend has had gout for five or six years with only minor 'episodes'. Recently he had a ruptured peroneal tendon and had surgery to repair that. When the surgeon did the surgery he said that it looked like 'cottage cheese' and that the gout had most likely weakened the tendon and caused the rupture.
Has anyone had experience with this? Any ideas on how to help control the gout?
m really really struggling here to get an answer for over a year and dealing with this for over a year.
I am extremely worried right now, because I just did a Google search and found that a study has shown that people with gout have an increased risk for cancer. Is this true? Can high uric acid levels really cause cancer? I am so worried about this. His doctor never mentioned this to him. My dad has just started to be pretty active, and he doesn't have any significant symptoms that bother him. I just don't want this condition to cause something more serious like cancer.
