I appear to have gout on my elbow. At least that is what the doctor thinks it is. No offical conclusion until this Friday. Whatever it is, IT HURTS! My elbow is so swollen that it almost looks like a golf ball under my skin. It is killing me. I was given a shot and a medication and I have to go to the doctor for 2 more shots the next two days and my blood results will be in on Friday.
In the meantime, please pray for me that this pain lessens and goes away ASAP. It really, really hurts.
Thank you
Steve

Sorry to hear about your gout. It is no fun. I have it in both my thumbs. It bothers me every once in awhile. I'm tankful it isn't worse. Yes it is affeected by somethings you eat. For instance liver (any kind), hot dogs, any amimal inerds (know what I mean) oysters or any shell fish for that matter. I forget what else. It may be different for each person tho..
Yes, you'll be in my prayers tonight. And I thank you for all you guys said for me. I am doing much better. Now if I can get my legs to keep me up for any length of time I'll be happy. I still have some pain in the tummy but am told this may hang on for several weeks or longer.. My physical theropist said give myself 4 to 6 months. Yikes...
