I now understand what you gout sufferers are talking about

True - even a ceiling fan blowing on it hurts!

I hear that. When I started having issues I sat back and realized that it only happened after I had been hunting for several days in a row. I realized that when I am hunting I drink almost no water since I spend so much time in the stand. I made a point of pounding the water during non-hunting times and I have not had an issue since. For me it was linked to dehydration. Good luck on finding the key to yours. Hope you don't have to take meds.

I know your pain also, I get it in my right ankle all the time until I started taking allopurinol (spelling?) daily.

Last 6 months I have gotten off the meds by exercising more and drinking a LOT of water daily.
Still don’t watch my diet or alcohol intake like I should (but what fun is that)

Only once at the deer lease 4 years ago. Left knee. An other lease member who is a podiatrist had me get a quart can of black cherries from the grocery store and eat the whole can of cherries and drink the juice. Seems this is an old truck driver's trick for a fast relief. Amazing how quick the pain and swelling went away, like over night.
Not a final cure however but will relieve the pain and inflammation real quick.
Known as the rich man's disease caused from eating too much red meat and alcohol consumption.


Oh, and a quart of black cherries is about the same as eating a gallon of prunes and that didn't take long either.
