wtf gout???

you're too young to get gout i think... or maybe not but i always thought it was an old people disease (ie 50yo's which we're rapidly approaching)

maybe you're just retaining too much water and your ankle is the show

as always listen to pavy... go to a dr tout suite

Looking up symptoms online is a good way to get thoroughly confused.

:yes:

usually your first gout attack would hit the big toe and go away in couple days. I've had it since early 20's. It maybe another type of arthritis. Wine is not good for gout, beer is worse though imo.

Avoid meat and a lot of protein in general. Baked potato with sour cream, corn, fruit, any sour dairy products supposed to be good. People have a lot of suggestions for it such as eating cherries/juice, but in my experience nothing really works. It tends to come and go so people, I believe, ascribe to it whatever may have coincided with it coming/going.

getting exercise, stretching, keeping weight down, avoiding a lot of meat/ alcohol consistently, is probably best advice long term. You probably don't have it though.
