Sweet Lord Jesus !
I posted a while ago I posted being your own patient advocate .I had a back operation then started getting what I thought was arthritis. Im no pus pus .It was worse than a back operation . then my feet or ankles. I already had a drop foot. Right before the foolemdemic it was so bad i went to the ER. Walking in and letting it be known all I wanted was a steri-pack .They do blood work blah blah then I see my uric acid level is high. My meds do it I dont drink or eat a lot of shell fish .*** I was tortured for 2 effin years .Thought it was provastin doing it . The **** was hitting the fan then Dr. appt were sketchy and after some research alopuinol came into my life. My buddy gave me me months worth.Got it prescribed and now golden.It was not like I had not seen Doctors about that either . A dope like me had to diagnose that ? You kinda need to pay attention and make some calls your own. So long story short ,I half lied I still have flat feet but no gout ...
