Thread Name: BS: A Bear With A Sore Toe
Subject: BS: A Bear With A Sore Toe
Last night, for no apparent reason, my big toe started to hurt. Within hours it was red, swollen and unbendable. GOOGLE search says gout. But I say "What the hell?" I gave up my evening wine on the first of the month and now I get gout?????
I don't remember kicking anything. Dare not take aspirin if it's gout. Some of the high blood pressure meds I take can cause uric acid build up.
So I sit at my desk with an ice pack on my foot pissed off enough to go buy a bottle of bourbon.
