I started with pain in my right foot last night, this morning its hot red and swollen. I think its the gout returned. Now, before everyone starts thinking yeah, big man, port drinker type thoughts here are some links fact sheet, american. Both of which cite overweight and alcohol as predisposing factors....doh! My GP just rang and its the 3rd attack in four years. Blood test and another medication. Did I mention its really painful.
