Arthritis or Gout

[virtuocity]

Could be gout but I wouldn't bank on it as those who experience it in joints like the ankle and knee have most commonly suffered from years of flare ups in the big toes. Naproxen most often the drug of choice.

If it is gout you need to stick to a very low purine diet. Google for a list of high purine foods/drinks. Going sober for a couple of weeks isn't a bad idea either.

Given that you're a regular golfer, I'd be surprised if your problem wasn't caused by arthritis or some kind of injury, in which case treatment for gout is a waste of time.

Drug dealer? oo:

I'm sure there's more lucrative drugs than gout tablets.
