Gout is a type of arthritis. It occurs when uric acid builds up in blood and causes inflammation in the joints.
Acute gout is a painful condition that often affects only one joint; Chronic gout is repeated episodes of pain and inflammation. More than one joint may be affected.


basically this stuff called uric acid, builds up on your joints, typically in your big toe, or in your feet. the uric acid is little razor sharp crystals that grind up against the joint and cause sever pain.


i have a high pain tolerance, and this shit brought me to my knees, almost to the point of crying.

i couldnt walk, or put any pressure on it or even have a blanket/sheet over it because it hurt so bad.

i've heard people saying that even a breeze is painful

i hope i never have to deal with that

hopefully it clears up you get any medication for it?

damn man hope you get rid of that asap

was planning on roast beef + beer tonight too D:

they gave me prednisone, its starting to help, its still painful but not as bad.

my wife was concerned about me, but she said watching me hop around all morning was funny.

shes gunna get it.

I had kidney stones. Twice. Both times I passed out due to the pain

thats what i have heard, i have read some storys about that shit, i couldnt imagine.


any idea what caused them?

First time was too much dairy. I was literally drinking a litre of chocolate milk a day. Too much calcium build up. And once you get them once, it's a 50/50 shot you'll get them again. Guessing it was just my shitty luck the second time

My wife's gma get's them all the time now....She seems to manage them fine and it's kind of disgusting but she keeps them....so she has like 10-15 of the damn things lol.

Did you have to pass those? Respect to your meatstick

Or is that something else
