If you are suffering from joint pain no need to worry . I was also suffering then one of my friend suggested the ayurveda products from planet ayurveda pitta balance, kuteja parwati vati and now all pain are gone.
Keep fighting for anyone that deals with this diseaese. Its brutal aint it!! I've never had it in my big toe,although strangely my big toe "pops" many times during my attacks elsewhere..but 1st attack started in elbow almost a year after a surgery, moved to wrist. 11 days Diagnosed as gout through aspiration and blood test. 2nd attack was in a foot/ankle that was previously mangled and was in middle of tendinitis issue. Very painful 17 days. Now currently on 3rd major attack and it's in my knee which has osgood schlatter disease and was in the middle of a case of bursitis. 15 days so far and it's wrecking havoc on my patellar tendon, which is already compromised from Osgood Schlatters. It seems my attacks always show up on already weakened areas and current battles taking place. Is this still gout, or would it be Pseudo?
You are lucky that you have good drs to diagnose you. Me not so much. I empathize though. I know and understand the severe pain. I am drinking water with a baking soda. It is helping for now.
I gave up on the orthopedic and rheumatologist, and now rely on Allopurinol and low purine diet. My own experience has me avoiding even high purine vegetables and other foods. I most likely have pseudogout in my knee. I was given hydrochlorothiazide about a decade ago, and that wrecked havoc on all of my joints. Hairline fracture after hairline fracture. A warm embrace to all those with this condition. Also, anyone gotten a hyaluronic acid gel shot over corticosteroid shot?
Any luck on the knee? I'm currently dealing with it in a knee that has Osgood-Schlaters as well. It's extremely painful and destroying my patellar tendon. Curious if you'd had any successes you could point me to as I'd like to walk again.
Thank You, Professor. I would like to ask you concerning other topic: which meniscal tears are relevant (if you could answer me if possible in correlation with MRI images). Some of the radiologist use Lotysch classification. What is relevant for you as an orthopedic surgeon in mri report?
Nothing about hemochromotisis causing elevated uric acid thus gout? Chelating iron out of the blood with turmeric, ect, is a easy gout fix for many people
