iamworthit 208 Posted August 20, 2013 I am having the worst gout attack of ny life. I have had it before and it was always in my big toe. This time it is my entire foot from the ankle down. I am in so much pain and can't take anything. I haven't slept in two days. Im trying to drink a lot of Water but even that isn't working as I'm hardly peeing at all. On top of all of that I am so constipated I can hardly stand the pain anymore. I have no appetite and haven't eaten since the foot flared on Saturday. I just had to rant. it's better than the crying I can't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cathy143 6 Posted August 20, 2013 I feel you pain. Gout is the worst pain I have ever had in my life. And I had my foot ripped apart when I was 21 by a shark. Gout pain is worse. Call you doc. Maybe they will order some pain meds. Mine usually does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marymcg62 23 Posted August 20, 2013 I feel so bad for you, I never had gout (thankfully), but watched my Grandmother suffer through it. I have chronic RA to the point that I'm disabled & take Morphine & Methadone for it & it hardly touches the pain , the pain killers cause Constipation big time sometimes I only go 2x a month , Now I use Miramax I mix it in all my drinks & it'd really works no cramping or anything like you can get with some laxatives.. I would DEFINITELY call your MD, it's not good not urinating especially when your drinking extra liquids, & he probably will give you something to be more comfortable. You can end up being dehydrated which can be very dangerous, please don't wait call today, Your friend in weight loss, Mary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iamworthit 208 Posted October 2, 2013 Gout is terrible again. I wish I could figure out what is causing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iamworthit 208 Posted October 6, 2013 It usually starts in the middle of the night. Toe (or whatever joint affected) feels broken. It gets red and nothing helps the pain. Drink lots of Water. I wouldn't wish it on my enemies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
