I am a Dr you know.
-
Gout is often caused by excess alcohol.
Just saying. ::) ::) :)
-
My uncle has gout, he described it just as you have. I know he is in agony when it plays up.
-
Go to another doctor.
:y
ps. Not on here.
-
There is a member here with first hand experience of this. To be serious for a minute.
But I'd guess it would affect more than one toe. Seeing as I'm a Dr and all. ;)

Caused by uric acid in the blood, extremely painful in the extremities. A way to elevate the pain is to stop drinking alcohol, and put ice packs on the affected area along with the use of painkillers. Mainly caused by being overweight and failing kidneys, so a life style change will help this painful arthritic condition. :y
P.S I'm not a doctor. ;D

I get gout from time to time and it isn't necessarily caused by alcohol - Google it; you will be advised to drink lots of water to help flush the uric acid crystals (THEY are the cause of the pain) from your toe joints -the big toes, mainly but not exclusively.

Indometacin . i only have to take one days supply ( 3 tabs) & it goes away completely in less than 48 hours & stays away
for the next few months. when it kicks off again . . . another 3 tabs & all is sorted :y HTH :y

I didn't say that alcohol causes it only that reducing consumption can relieve it. :y
-
Both my father and brother suffer from gout, they say that it feels like you have a broken toe, does yours feel
like that? Also can,t you see another doctor or go to A&E.
-
I have just reread my statement and it should have read..The pain is at the end of my toe under the nail..
I dont drink so i dont think its that..As Dr Gixer said it could be my safety shoes but if so why only on my right foot.
-
Is your right foot the bigger of the two...?

You can't be a real Doctor or you would have told him, "too much toe in", make a visit to WIM for a cure. :o :o :o
