1373998 2014-05-03 02:41:00 I get gout from time to time - usually in the foot. After limping badly on one foot for a few days the gout goes away from that foot and travels to the other foot so that I end up limping badly on the that other foot. People could be excused for thinking that I have forgotten which foot to limp on.

Kings are welcome to this condition and I do not think that it is fair that us peasants should have it as well. I love spinach but nowadays I leave it alone for Popeye the Sailor Man to have. My doctor gave me a list of foot to avoid (including oysters).

for my knee when I literally couldn't move - Doc made a home call, a rarity in this day and age - and
2 weeks ago for toe problems.

I use Naproxen which is a strong anti-inflammatory and it works wonders.
