Just getting over a week of gout, this time it was a sore one. A really sore one!!
I had a pain in the top of my left foot last Monday which had a pulled muscle type sensation and this was about a week after my previous gout treatment had finished. This was not how it has started in previous attacks but the pain migrated to my big toe on my left foot the following morning along with the usual heat and with the feeling someone was trying to remove the toe with a crowbar!
This required a call to the Pharmacist with a ‘deliver the medication as I can’t stand up’ request which they were happy to do the following morning but thankfully a call to a neighbour who I was able to catch just as he was heading out with his dog meant I got the pills within the hour.
This is I think the third episode I’ve had courtesy of a specific blood pressure medication I’ve had an on/off relationship with over the last 30 years and not the result of excess unfortunately!
Hopefully I’ll get on to a long term preventative measure shortly, those who’ve had it will feel my pain!
