Gout is a terrible thing. Mike has it! Most times in the past it's in his big toe - a few days of no shoe or socks and drinking cherry juice and it goes away. Not this time.
It settled in his ankle and it won't go away. It's been around for a week and it needs to disappear NOW! Mike spends his time lounging on the bed during the day and sleeps on the couch at night. NOTHING can touch his leg from the knee down. His ankle is bright red and swollen and looks very painful.
We did make it out for dinner on News Years Eve, but he hobbled on crutches and clearly was in pain.
I got some herbal stuff from my Chiro and Mike said that it's helping - another reason to love that guy. Mike leaves for the big champion's softball tourney in Winter Haven FL. Wednesday so it better be gone by then.

I do have a pair of crutches if needed. Do you just have to let this stuff run its course? Does it go away on its own?
