Gout Sores How Do I Know If I Have Gout Or Arthritis?

How do I know if I have Gout or Arthritis? - gout sores

Approx. 4 weeks, I'd hurt a sore left wrist and right ankle. Nothing bad just annoying. Two weeks later he awoke in the middle of the night and could not bend the knee or put under pressure. My doctor asked me questions about gout and arthritis, but sent me for X-rays came back OK. The game of Voltaren, and I said I could send an orthopedic surgeon when to stop the pain. I can walk on my knees, but pain in the wrist and fingers. The right swollen foot and ankle pain. If gout should be a strict statute of limitations or cure obtain?

Gout is one of the easiest ways to treat arthritis.

First things first. You should know if you have gout or something. The symptoms of gout are standing in line. It is also compatible with many forms of arthritis.

I am surprised that he would be sent to a specialist blood tests. Since your doctor does not seem to want to call with this call and handle the transfer. The orthopedic surgeon will start the test to diagnose your condition.

Here is a link to the diagnosis of gout.

The symptoms of gout are:
* A sudden pain in a joint, usually the big toe, ankle or knee.
* Swelling, inflammation, and the feeling that the joint is hot.
* The affected area is very sensitive to the slightest pressure.
* In extreme cases, alternating chills and fever.
* The rule is unexpected and may occur again, but symptoms rarely longer than a week.

Based on my personal experience, when I had an attack of gout in the fingers, difficulty walking, or even shoes. The pain is unbearable and can last all day and night.

For immediate treatment is necessary that you ask your doctor to prescribe anti-inflammatory medication to the swelling in inflamed joints.

Avoid EATIng offal, fish, eat vegetables and drink a lot of fruit, including cherries and plenty of water.

I would for some blood tests. I thought I had gout, or at least that is what Dr. 's told me. I went to an orthopedist diagnosed me with a broken foot! Do not give up until you have reached the bottom of the problem. Good Luck
