Ride your bikes, that makes everything better.

That's what the doc said.
"Make more time to ride!"

Plantar Fascilitis? I've had that, and it's a walk in the park compared to Gout. This is in a different league entirely. :twisted:

yep......i would have thought any description of the pain was exagerated until i experienced it.....my first dose put me on crutches.......

i have it too. diclofenac (sp) is the answer.

Mmm... prescription NSAIDs...

Ahem, sorry - did I say that outloud?

Diclofenac is a bitch of a drug . . . it'll rot your guts and eff up your internal organs if you're not careful...

feels like sceptic hair folicals in your big toe ,and worse
do more cycleing and if your gonna drink make it white wine or a quality cider

eat more veg/fruit too

In fairness most prescription pain killers will do you harm (one way or another) if you use them a lot, for sustained periods.

A friend gets gout sometimes.i'll ask him if theres any tricks to keeping the pain down.
I googled it and its crystals forming in the joints of the big toe.Quite excruciating by all accounts so you have my condolences and i hope this little bout passes quickly
I think my friend gets it for a week-ten days :? but ill ask him next time he's round




If crystalline, would ultrasound waves break them up :?
