  I’m a 73 year old male.  Had gout attacks since my 40s.  This time it won’t go away. Three months.  Left big toe and instep.  Had bone scan, X-rays.  Being treated by my PCP doctor and one visit to podiatrist. Got a steroid shot.  Have been taking 100mg Allipurinol...not high enough dose maybe?  Going up to 300.  Cannot take anti inflamatories...take blood thinners.  Tried prednisone...nothing.  So doc had me sign up for medical marijuana. Not really helping...but wife says I’m...
