Gout Pain

Gout pain is a form of arthritis characterized by sudden and severe joint inflammation, commonly affecting the big toe. It occurs due to the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, leading to intense pain, swelling, redness, and tenderness. The excruciating pain of gout can significantly impact daily life and disrupt sleep, particularly at night. Proper management of gout pain involves a combination of lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a healthy weight, following a low-purine diet, staying hydrated, and avoiding alcohol, as well as taking prescribed medications to control inflammation and lower uric acid levels. Seeking medical advice and adhering to a comprehensive treatment plan can help individuals effectively manage gout pain and improve their quality of life.

Having a coffee that's just a watered down coffee today has been a pretty chill experience [it's causing bubbles but not like extreme gastric distress], mostly because for a while now I have just been putting everything I should be drinking in large cups of boiling water all at once and simply drinking it with no cream or sugar and no regard to taste.

I can't even actually tell you whether it tastes good or bad, but I have been drinking a concoction of lemon juice, frozen cranberries, green tea, black tea, turmeric, and a packet of gelatin [not flavoured or sweetened jello, knox gelatin], and sometimes a pinch of dried roasted dandelion roots or a little pinch of coffee grounds or both. In nearly a liter of hot water. Much to -your- horror, nothing but the black tea is in a bag or filter the rest is all lose in there.

It looks and feels very "swamp potion a kid would make" only I am a grownup and actually downing it all. The lemon and cranberry have tasted good next to chocolate... I cannot evaluate the rest of the flavour.

Potion of kidney recovery.

I ate one can of beets fried in avocado oil and put into wraps, but I think I am done with the beets for now. The bone pain is mostly gone and I just need to make sure the gout is too. my hands, feet and shoulders are still sore, and I can't tell if they are just healing or if I still have gout.

I want steak and cokey cola so bad. Life is sadness.

we can't find specific enough instructions on how to use a cane

some sources say to hold it in the hand opposite of the foot that hurts

other ones say to hold in in the hand on the side that hurts

and we can't match up our arm movement with our leg in a way that takes the pressure off

i feel like we're not in enough pain for a wheelchair and it would make our life 10000000000% more difficult which is Not what we need rn

The Natural Wonder: Stinging Nettles - Your Solution to Arthritis, Gout, and Rheumatism

[audhd-space]

< content warning > food, dieting, strict diet

went to the doctor yesterday to follow up for bloodwork result, again my uric acid level is high AND there’s inflammation marked by elevated HS-CRP (high sensitive c-reactive protein) level

so my doctor agreed it is highly likely gout, since by genetic predisposition, my dad has one. She suggested that I go for strict low purine diet first and to drink a lot of water to flush out the uric acid.

please please please send me some suggestions to make eating fun (and less intimidating, since I struggle with eating anyways)

Could someone from a country with universal healthcare explain to me like I'm 5 how it's unhelpful? Because I'm in the US, who has to wait close to a year to see her neurologist and pays out the ass for doctors who don't ever help WITH insurance so I'm just wondering how this is supposed to be better?

Its just not. I don't understand. I feel like I'm dying everyday. I wish I was dead. No one else my age feels like this. I ask my friends, my family. People genuinely do not feel this bad, all the time. Especially at my age. And no doctors help. And the waiting also doesn't help.

Gout is a type of arthritis characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, redness, and tenderness in the joints, most commonly the big toe. It occurs when there is a buildup of uric acid in the blood, leading to the formation of sharp, needle-like crystals in the joints and surrounding tissues.

Factors that can contribute to the development of gout include genetics, diet high in purines (found in foods like red meat, seafood, and alcohol), obesity, certain medications, and underlying health conditions like kidney disease or diabetes.

Gout attacks can be triggered by factors such as alcohol consumption, certain foods, dehydration, stress, and injury. Treatment usually involves medications to manage pain and inflammation during attacks, as well as lifestyle changes and medications to lower uric acid levels in the blood to prevent future attacks and complications like joint damage and kidney stones.

Gout is typically diagnosed through a combination of medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests. Here's how it's typically done:

Medical history: Your healthcare provider will ask about your symptoms, including the location and duration of joint pain, any previous episodes of similar symptoms, family history of gout or other arthritis conditions, and any contributing factors such as diet or medications.

Physical examination: During the physical exam, the healthcare provider will assess the affected joint(s) for signs of inflammation, such as redness, swelling, warmth, and tenderness. They may also check for the presence of tophi, which are lumps of uric acid crystals that can sometimes form under the skin around joints.

Laboratory tests: Blood tests are commonly used to measure levels of uric acid in the blood. However, it's important to note that high uric acid levels alone are not enough to diagnose gout, as some people with elevated uric acid levels never develop gout, while others with normal levels do. In some cases, joint fluid may be extracted from the affected joint using a needle (joint aspiration) and examined under a microscope to look for uric acid crystals, which is a definitive way to diagnose gout.

Based on the combination of medical history, physical examination findings, and laboratory test results, a healthcare provider can make a diagnosis of gout and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Long-term management of gout often involves a combination of medication, lifestyle modifications, and regular monitoring to prevent future attacks and complications.

hey does anyone know wtf you're supposed to do if the foods you're not supposed to eat conflict with each other

for gout you're not supposed to eat red meat, seafood, high purine vegetables, sugar

for gastroparesis you have to limit fiber such as raw fruits and vegetables, whole grain bread/pasta, meat with fat

but also you're a carnivorous nonhuman headmate and gag on a lot of vegetables if they aren't hidden in something

and low energy because of fibromyalgia so you can't cook anything complicated most days

am i just supposed to eat nothing but baked chicken nuggets and soggy microwave vegetables all the time
