FML
This totally sucks. Have not been able to exercise all week except a feeble attempt on Tuesday. I took yesterday off and was feeling pretty good all day. I ate a ton of Blueberries which are supposed to reduce concentrations of uric acid in your system and it seemed to actually help. Today I am sore as hell again. Had to put my boots on which was pure agony. Having a real good time.

Go to your doctor. My Father in law had it in June and got a prescription that cleared it up in HOURS. Same as a coworker. He had it earlier this year was fine the next day.

I had the same thing about 15 years ago. It was in my foot, and at first I thought I had a broken bone -- yes, it's painful. Went to orthopedist and the Rx cleared it up as DuggleBogey says.

You mean doctors are useful? FUCK!

Indomethecin has been the only thing that helps me once an acute case sets in. I usually don't have to take the full course before it resolves. If I wake up with just a twinge, I usually take naproxen and it resolves most of the time.
There is a daily med that prevents attacks, but I haven't asked for it because I am going to lose weight and modify my diet, right?
There has been a resurgence in gout and they are working on new meds.
