I'm so sorry about your foot(what is gout???)
Good Ol Gal said:ok, I had to look it up in my dictionary.
gout:a disease in which defective metabolism of uric acid causes arthritis, esp. in the smaller bones of the feet, deposition of chalkstones, and episodes of acute pain.
so it's in your bones? I was picturing something like gangreen(sp?) that was on the outside.
The small joint at the base of the big toe is the most common site of an acute gout attack. Other joints that can be affected include the ankles, knees, wrists, fingers, and elbows. Acute gout attacks are characterized by a rapid onset of pain in the affected joint followed by warmth, swelling, reddish discoloration, and marked tenderness. Tenderness can be intense so that even a blanket touching the skin over the affected joint can be unbearable.

i looked at that pic and i just felt like i had the pain right there...eeyoresmountainpals said:Here's a link with a drawing thingee () of where it is located in the foot.
