Gout

[TScottW99]

Started my deer vacation in Sunday, two weeks off ( that was the good news). Last day of work I could barley walk, so went to the Dr first thing Sunday. Seems I have gout in my left foot (that's the bad news, Duh )

No fun at all! Hoping to actually hunt tomorrow evening, fingers crossed. I would advise to avoid gout, just saying

What did the doc advise as treatment. My wife says you've got to drink a lot of water to flush the uric acid out. Her father had gout in his feet fairly often. He said it hurt to have a bed sheet on the affected foot when he was having a flareup.

The bad part about it is the diet for gout is very little red meat.

Luckily this isn't a big flare up, gave me some medicine to ease the pain & inflammation. Drinking lots of water and laying off red meat & beer for awhile

Just go out and graze with bambi.

No Red Meat Or Beer. What's the use in living?

An old friend used to have gout flareups all of the time.
He always said that He would drink lots of cranberry juice to eas the symptoms and clear it up. Might have been mixing the juice with whiskey too ?????????????:facepalm::rotflmao:
