Question by jingles: I have Gout and Arthritis around both my big toes. It’s absolute agony, if it’s not one it’s the other?
It has got so that I ask myself which pain I prefer, the Arthritis or the Gout. Is there nothing can be done. What about amputation, would that be a cure or would it just travel elsewhere?

You need to see a Rheumatologist. Reason being that some drugs for arthritis can cause gout. Therefore a Rheumatologist will be able to advise on the correct treatment.

You know I always thought this was an 1800′s disease, until a couple of my co-workers got it. The two older gentleman had it on the bottom of their feet. They went to the doc’s and got some medicine and they were fine.
