ask if you have gout. swolen sore feet is a major sign. Gout is a build up of Uric Acid in your system. - peglegpete Sep 23, 12:35 6
- My doc gave me a prescription for Allopurinal for slightly elevated Uric Acid levels. - Subversive Sep 23, 12:39 5
  - You don't really "cure" yourself of gout, though. You're either susceptible or you're not. - Reagen Sep 23, 12:42 4
    - Yeah, I've never had gout pain, trying to prevent it. - Subversive Sep 23, 12:54
    - I just had sausage before reading all this...I really hope it's not gout. -- nm - Stacy Sep 23, 12:51
    - and you take the allopurinal for life to counteract the Uric Acid build up -- nm - peglegpete Sep 23, 12:48 1
      - In my case, some diet changes I've made might do it, but the allopurinal is a temporary measure for now. - Subversive Sep 23, 12:56

I hope they find out what is wrong and that it's an easy process. All the best Stacy! -- nm - lileve Sep 23, 12:31 1
