Trust me you NEVER want to have an attack, the pain is so bad and there is nothing that relieves it. It used to be called the disease of kings. I'm glad I am a mere worker ant.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Walt, My husband has a terrible problem with gout and gets it in all of his joints, including his elbows and wrists. Whenever he feels an attack coming on he takes colchicine right away and that helps most of the time. Take care. Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 I think I have another in an ongoing bout of gout. Instead of my toe anf foot, it appears that it has attacked my left wrist, on the back of my hand. Has anyone heard of gout in that location?

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 I didn't recognize what it was until yesterday. I got on the colchicine right away, so it should take a couple of more days to feel better... Walt _____ From: Chucktkn@...

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Hi Walt, I am sorry to hear that the gout is acting up again. I sure hope it clears up fast for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 LOL I was on Allopurinol for a year and still had at least one bout of gout. Only to be told later (when i got new doctors) that maybe it wasn't gout. So now I not sure if I have gout or not. Do know that damn toes act up and nothing can be on it. But I like your outlook on meds I have so many what's one more. Martha > I have had a lot of gout, but always in foot or heel or big toe. As it is > uric acid crystals forming on your joints, it could happen anywhere. I really > feel for you, because there is nothing worse than the pain and there is no > relief. > I have not experienced a " bout " for about 4-5 years, which coincides with > how long I have been on Allopurinol, 1 tablet a day.
