Well wish me luck finding a doctor that gives a shit enough too do a proper diagnosis.

The only basis I have is that my kidneys are not working at their full efficiency and so the doctor assumes that the reason I got gout is because of my drinking and the uric acid built up too much and so I had an attack. I am getting the feeling that this gout never really goes away and its going too come back and say hi sooner or later? I am sorry I can;t give more information I simply don;t have any that’s why I came here.

I see and the doctor tested kidneys function and not uric acid levels which I thought they were testing for. I wish these wankers would do the right thing. I currently have no pain in my foot however on occasion It stings on in the lump on the side of the joint I sometimes feel it might be coming back but it doesn’t.

Though I do have a question I need too know are my drinking days over? is their anything I can drink alternative too beer? I have gout apparently because my kidneys are not functioning at their normal level. I would still like too get drunk on the weekend with my friends if possible.

I can quit the beer I just don’t like wasting my money seeing useless doctors that should be fired.

Doc stated its gout and told me too stay off the booze and said they wont do anything unless I have another attack I am like the whole point is too avoid another attack in the first place and yep a utterly useless doctor show just trying too take my money i guess. I don;t know what the hell I am supposed too do now.

thanks yes prednisone is a disgusting tablet it tastes utterly terrible and I hate taking them I am praying too whatever excuse for a god their is that its not gout I really want my life back I want to be able to drink beer again too I know they like too stick a needle inside the joint and take the fluid out for testing I am really not looking forward too that. I will update you on what this doctor says. I am more trying too make sure I don;t have another flair up and that this is gone for good I know with anything its best too get it early and that’s exactly what I am going too do.

I am taking Indomethacin, Prednisolone and Plucloxacillin for Inflammation. The Inflammation has gone down their is no swelling now except a lump on the side of my foot at the big toe joint which is tender too touch and have a burning sensation at times. I am well aware that gout does massive damage too the body which is another reason I am worried about it I am only 32 I don;t want to be 40 and in a wheelchair due too severely damaged joints. I am seeing a different doctor turns out the doctor I am supposed too see wont be their all week but I am still going my doctor said it could be Cellulitis I am really hoping that’s all it is and I have had blood tests I will hopefully find out the results today but all the evidence leads too gout. I am really going too miss beer 🙁
