My big toe hurts

[TLO]

Help me.

[Hydrae]

Turf toe sucks (as does a sprained toe, especially the big one)

[Titty Meat]

Let me suck the pain away

Bob Marley died of toe cancer.

I feel like it needs to pop, but won't.

That shit runs in my family, although (knock on wood) the cruel gods of aging haven't yet added it to my dance card. My maternal grandmother had it bad, as did both of my uncles.

Ironically, one of my uncles contracted neuropathy in the same toe that had had the gout. So even though it looked awful and should have been horrendously painful, he couldn't feel a thing and it didn't bother him at all. The only instance I've ever heard of where two nasty maladies combined to cancel each other out.

Doesn’t matter your age with gout my man. I’ve had it since I was 28 years old. If your kidneys can’t process purines, you’ll get the gout. It’s definitely miserable, but the medication really lets you do live like normal.

I was not aware of that. Thought it was an old person thing. My relatives were all older when they came down with it.

I’m not diagnosed (I don’t go to the doctor for anything)… but I’ve had textbook gout flare ups in my right big toe since my early 20’s. They progressively are getting worse and stay for longer. I recently discovered bio freeze on Amazon which helps get me sleep through the night and hobble around during flare ups.

All they do is a blood test, you’ll have high uric acid and they’ll prescribe you febuxostat or allopurinol. You’ll never suffer again, if you forget to take it and suddenly have a flare up take mitigare or colcrys.

I would hate to have that pain, just because I wouldn’t go to the doctor. Maybe I’m a bitch and my pain tolerance is low, but gout ****ing sucks.

Well, that's a lucky break, I guess. Maybe not so much when the toe gets gangrene, but lucky in the interim.
