gout is hard to miss the area becomes very red swollen hard and so painfull it hurts if air even touches it--it puts my brother in a wheel chair

the only way to be certian is to go the doctors for a blood test--if its gout there will be urea crystals

hope it isn't gout

I am sorry-

when my brothers gout flairs he has to take a medication that helps remove the urea from his system and follow a low urea diet- i don't think he has found much else that helps

good luck
