Have dealt with gout for the last 20 years and a flare can keep you off your feet for weeks. Controlled with medication and diet. I just wonder whether gout medication might be on the prohibited list as it may be used as a masking agent? Hope he gets better and stays away from too many outings at Jack Ruby’s.
I can relate: I had many yrs experience with suffering from gout. I actually had a surgery on my wrist to remove a buildup of the crystals that can form from the Uric Acid that triggers Gout.
Its severely painful, debilitating and no joke. I didn't want to go on the drug (Allopurinol) so I lost weight, started drinking PH alkaline water, reduced the salty meats took and detox supplements and I have an attack maybe once every few yrs now VS every few months. I always wonder when we hear about suspicious NFL injuries especially from the Big guys if its gout.
