I just wanna ask about Gout. I know diet is the best preventive measure but I feel like diet has stopped working for me. Before when I would have a gout flare up, I could just eat greens and drink only water for a month, and I'd be good. Now it feels like its not enough and the pain just doesn't go away completely. Is it possible the chronic gout has caused a different type of arthritis in the toe? I've been to the doctor a couple of times but I only ever get prescribed anti inflammatories and told about diet.
Sorry I know gout isn't as serious as other forms of arthritis, but its just slowly changing the activities I feel I can participate in.
