Ouch! Big toe hurting like crazy. Symptoms only slightly match gout and I'm not eating much meat nor drinking.

Really it's just that the pain is in one of the joints, there is a little swelling, and it feels a bit warm to the touch (but doesn't feel hot to me).

That is classic gout. Take some Advil, drink a lot of water and or cherry juice. -- nm - Reagen Jan 4, 06:43 5
- Cherry juice? I haven't heard this one. -- nm - sycor Jan 4, 08:05 4
  - There is talk that cherries help reduce uric acid (but supposedly fruit juices can increase your chance of getting gout) -- nm - zork Jan 4, 08:15 3
    - I see mixed evidence, yeah. -- nm - Reagen Jan 4, 08:17 2
      - I was hoping you'd answer this thread. The other thing though ... - zork Jan 4, 08:21 1
        
        If it becomes a consistent thing, get a prescription for Allopurinol. Gout gets you in ways other than acute attacks - Reagen Jan 4, 08:35
better amputate just to be safe -- nm - decline Jan 4, 06:36 1
- Dammit, why didn't I think of that! -- nm - zork Jan 4, 06:41
