Woke Up Sick Today

[BARhunter]

Woke up sick this morning and to top it off, I think I have gout in my big toe on my right foot. It hurts like !@$$ and I don't know what to do about it. I have never had gout but have always heard about how painful it is. I would really like to cut my toe off right now! Does anyone have any suggestions?

BAR, make an appt with the doc for first thing Monday morning. Find a way to deal with the pain till you see him.

Ive heard of people splinting the toe so it does move the joint.

My father in law has it. The only thing They do for him is give him some pills that slowly take the gout away.Plus it knocks him out for about 24 hours at a time.

You can get a shot at emergency room that will fix it in a few hours. My father has gout and he has to go to the hospital every now and then.
