Man my foot hurts

I had something like that, it ended up being some medication I was on made my right toe hurt. It would get better and then get worse. I finally realized the connection matched when I remembered to take the daily med. I can't remember the name, but it's one of those meds they give you to make sure you don't go diabetic.

Go easy on that cherry extract unless you want to be jet propelled off the terlet. [Coffee]

Not gout. Happy about that.

That is good, hope you get better...
I wouldn't wish a gout attack on anyone- worst one I had (it was in the ankle joint) had me thinking removing the foot was a viable option at one point.

Results may very. I down about a shot glass or 2 and see how I feel in a while.

Very good point Steve. This may also very. But it can and has given the Hersey squirts from hell. [panic]

Thanks for the warning, maybe I'll just stick with the pills for now

Do it. Good to clean the pipes every once in awhile

When I got gout, I had no idea what was happening. They gave me allopurinol and gradually increased the doses, but nobody told me it would make it worse before things got better. My wife found the black cherry extract thing online and bought me a bottle. I just went to town on it, and I thought I was going to break the porcelain with liquid. Nothing like wiping between your shoulder blades...

[facepalm]

Anyway, Sparky... any other ideas? Hope it's just a passing thing...

Possibly the sesamoid bones. Got something for inflammation to try first. If that doesn't work off to the foot doctor.

This is true, not as bad as sugar free Gummy Bears, but still dont stray too far from a toilet. Even at 1 - 2 ounces of concentrate to 8 - 10 ounces of water dilution twice a day, can loosen your bowels to the point of calling in sick to work.
