Coming home 🥲If anyone needs a ticket you can have mineI might be able to offer a positive note to this one, so this is what stopped me playing football, of course, back then and even now young blokes where never tested for Uric acid levels in their blood, you could never imagine somebody at the age of 19 having Gout, Gout was something red wind swilling old Colonels used to get after years of hitting the bottle, that and gin, of course we know better now, its not about alcohol whatsoever, although staying away from anything purine will help, sardines are a killer as is tomatoes.In my case back then they just put it down to a recurring Mortons Neuroma spreading across the foot or feet, this is what worked for me.Have a chat with your GP, ask him about Allopurinol, he should start you on 300mg, its an old drug that works, say drug, that's not strictly true, its a powdered enzyme because that's what your body is missing and that is all gout is, you where born or developed the lack of enzymes in yoru blood to break down the Uric acid, which you have probably noticed in your pee, see what your GP offers or thinks I know a lot these days they try to healthy diet your way out of it but you have to remember that's for the rest of your life and no alcohol, tough call that. Can be dealt with, but one thing is for sure, really painful as you know.

Diet is the main contributor to gout. Avoid foods high in purines and drink plenty of water.It is horrible.
