Yep. Besides, I'm a hot dog junkie. Eat 'em by the truckload. My
current fave is the National Hebrew 1/4 lb'ers. Yum!

Well they are made from kosher cuts of meat, so you can be assured they have
no offal in them. I think the Yiddish word is trafe. So anyway, this sure
makes me think of hot dogs. Yummo. Oops! I meant yummy.

i thought the hot dogs were kosher because they've been circumcised.

A needle aspiration would confirm uric acid crystals in the joint.
Most patients decline however.
Without that, you don't know if it's gout, pseudogout, or something
else entirely. When one doctor thought I had gout, a second doctor
thought it more likely an injury or other inflammation.]

Steve,

C'mon! You don't have to be a doctor to see gout inflamation! But you

can't

be me either. I thought it was a re-injury of my foot.

Actually Steve is pretty much on target. Even syphillis can cause joint
problems.

Yep, the first time I had a needle aspiration for gout they also gave me a
syphilis blood test, just to be on the safe side...

Of course the MORON lab tech misdiagnosed the fluid, for several days the
MD's were coming in and trying to figger out what I had. Finally one of
them took another sample, sure enough it was gout. How the lab tech
initially missed it I don't know...the uric acid crystals are very easy to
see.

[The fluid is clear - yellowish with a few specks of blood...]

Last time I was hospitalised for gout it was in both of my knees, they were
full of fluid and they had to really poke and probe in TWO separate sessions
to aspirate the fluid sacs...not pleasant. At least the second time I was
all doped up and watching _The Munsters_ on TV while the doc was doing his
digging...

Injury to the body can sometimes bring on an episode of gout. I've seen
it happen.

Tripping on something, stubbing one's toe, or even an ill - fitting pair of
shoes can trigger a gout attack...

I have been drinking some TJ's "Just Cherry" juice with no noticable

from them.

Thanks,

I can't remember for sure, but buffalo meat looks about the same as ground
beef, right? I don't know that it makes a difference, it's just one of
those weird things that can get stuck in your head, but when I read that
'red' meat can induce a bout'o'gout (love that!), I immediately blamed the
pepperoni. I had been getting a pound of it that wasn't sliced, cutting

Game meats generally can aggravate gout, best to avoid, even if the meats
are very low fat...

-Glasswalker-

Spouse has had gout in the jaw, hands and elbows a few times but mostly
gets periodic episodes in the lower limb joints, and it isn't pretty
when that happens 🙁

I've had it fingers and hands, once in the elbow...it *really* likes my
knees for some reason.

And the jaw - OUCH...!!!

Spouse takes allopurinol daily as a prophylactic

it in the bud most of the time. But, the side effects of colchicine are
something to be reckoned with (stay close to the bathroom!).

Ain't it the truth...

;--)

When I've taken colchicine I've also been prescribed very strong
antacids...didn't help matters too much.
