Well Said Gentleman! As has been said, the most common joint in the 1st MTP joint, or base of your great toe. Can go to almost any joint however
In. Man, as if I don't have enough joint issues, in just the past 1-2 yrs, I've noticed out of nowhere sharp piercing like pain in my ankle. It's currently happening in my left ankle and when I say it comes out of nowhere it does, it's weird. It'll be so painful that I can barely walk, a few hours later like nothing was ever wrong. Been wondering if it's the gout but I don't get a rash or inflammation and I think that's a sign???
ankle has gotten better but I've been chugging water, eating better and not drinking. Also my stress level is way down from when it was. I found an X-ray of my left ankle from years ago after I thought I rolled my ankle after a night of being downtown.... So who knows. I'm going to take notes and see if it's always the same ankle. I've also not been hyper focusing on it and probably causing some of it psychosomatically.... I guess
All this talk about gout and I just got a flare up. I wonder if I just cut off my big toe if it would go away or would it manifest in a new joint? Oh well time to give up sugar, red meat and beer. Only the last one really bothers me....
Are you sure that you aren't getting blackout drunk and twisting your ankle? Bachelor party, 15 IPAs...just sayin.
and the Beeb delivers yet again. the last few years, one or 2 times a year, my right knee, or ankle will get REALLY PAINFUL, REALLY FAST, with no known injury or impact, it lasts a few days, and then it is gone. Thursday afternoon, the right ankle started getting tight, and painful to put weight on. over night it became worse. Friday (yesterday), I had to leave work it was so painful. wife is an NP so, we did some research, tried a few things similar to this threads recommendations. seemed better later in the day. BUT, about midnight, trying to sleep.... HOLY MOTHA FUKA, ankle turns red, warm to touch, looked at foot/ankle, almost twice the size of the other. thank god for my wife, and her hording meds we have used in the past. had to take some serious anti-inflammatory, and pain drugs, along with tart cherry, and vit C. iced it and within a few hours, i was more comfortable. going to get corticosteroids, this am. this was the most intense localized pain i have ever experienced. i have broken bones, destroyed knees, shoulders, wrist... IT WAS BAD! if some of our friends or family talk about this, dont poo poo their grief, THIS SHIT IS THE REAL DEAL, IN DISCOMFORT. I think i would rather have back to back root canals, and slam my dick in a door, before having this again. WOW! Ski
