Gout Support Group
Gout is a form of arthritis caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in joints. It is an intensely painful disease, which in most cases affects only one joint (monoarthritis), most commonly the big toe. The classic picture is of excruciating and sudden pain, swelling, redness, warmness and stiffness in the joint. Low-grade fever may also be present.
How bad is gout on the kidney?
My dh lost a kidney in 2000 because of a cronic problem with the uretur collapsing and ruining the kidney.
Now he's having cronic gout problems in ALL of his joints, and has for several months before finally giving in and going to the dr.
Could gout be a warning for more severe problems? The dr said a couple of weeks for test results to come back... I'm in a panic.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
