How do you define arthritic knee pain?

 

al be honest - i think the doc got it wrong (couldnt wait to get rid of me) not had it in about 8 months and it came on while jogging similar to shin splints but it was very painful to put weight on and lasted about 3 weeks

Gout. Lots of fluids and ibuprofen

Identity crisis. People keep trying to tell me I'm a human male and not a goose. All I say to that is, "Honk!!"

I have gout, and have had it for about 20 years. Very unpleasant,  but fortunately only happens a few occasions a year. Drastically improved since starting taking apple cider vinegar. One tablespoon a day mixed with a 100ml of water. MUST be raw and unpasteurised with the mother.

I dunno where to start, so I won't.

[Futtocks]

Another thing that helps with gout is cherries/cherry juice. It isn't a cure, but it does help with keeping it at bay and recovering from it. Plus, if you're going to regularly drink fruit juice for general health reasons, it may as well have a second benefit and taste good too.

If you can't get that, then a daily dose of a small amount of bicarbonate of soda stirred into a glass of water is also recommended, but it doesn't taste nearly as nice.

I know you hate speculation, only the facts, so I won't bother you with my beans.

I've had it for 40 years. Etoricoxib is the best thing I have ever had to help it go away. Unfortunately the GP's don't like it due to some pretty nasty contraindications. I like It because all my other aches and pains go away too.

I have been on Allopurinol for about 2 years and touch wood it's working for me. 

I read somewhere that one of the worst triggers is nettles, so I gave them up.

Crab and some sea food seems ( much to my disgust)  to by one of my triggers. One of these days I am going to bite the bullet and try eating crab again just to see if the Allopurinol keeps it away.

I was on Allopurinol for about 20 years never had an episode of gout. Doctor suggested I come off it 2 years ago, not sure after last week it was a good idea.

You're obviously not Napoleon Solo, Illya Kuryakin or even Mr Waverly. Therefore, Thrush wouldn't touch you.

Poor blood supply to my femur , not pleasant .

Sciatica, kicks off down my right leg after I’ve been stood for an hour or so at a match.

Also I get a really bad pain in my lower back if I have to walk any distance. Probably connected but I used to walk for miles and it’s very frustrating
