    You bring up a very solid point. Podiatrist was looking at the X-ray image and with the information i provided on the exercise and with the shoes. When my toe was swollen, my uric acid level was 7. Second test showed 9 when my toe wasn’t swollen and low uric acid diet. Gout flared up when the uric acid crystallized. I think i will need to see a rheumatologist. Thanks for the recommendation and your forum.

    Update:
    Went back to podiatrist last month and she said that i don’t have gout. What i’m having is two bones at joint are rubbing that cause inflammation. That explained why every time i exercise like running or applying pressure to the big toe, it flared up. I ate beef and drank again and no flare up.

    @Nobody – Thanks for the feedback. Perhaps, I should retake the uric acid test.

    @Keith
    – Thanks for the information! Doc never explained to me about the treatment plan just descripted pain med. Perhaps, I should talk to him about what to do next.
