Oww!

Thought I sprained my ankle, doctor says it's gout.  Apparently it's hereditary- anyone else experienced this?  Played football on a broken foot, had my lower lip busted twice and sown up without painkillers- this is worse than anything.  Unimaginable pain- thoughts, advice?

Internet research, gout is all about diet.

First, get a second opinion. A lot of stuff that doctors can't easily explain is blamed on gout. My Dad was diagnosed with gout for years and it turned out to be a very complicated set of problems related to undiagnosed diabetes. Unfortunately, he didn't seek out a different opinion until it was too late and the damage had been done. Find an internist and get it properly checked out.

Hmmm...........

Gout???

diet............ lack if iodine?

You on a low salt or NO salt diet?

iodized salt?  (seem to recall gout is cured with iodized salt???)

DEFINITELY get another opinion!!!!!!!!!

Yer thinking of a Goiter bro.  ;)  

I would GET a 2nd opinion because "tearing a ligament" and "gout" are on different levels of diagnosis.    Gout attacks tendons and cartilage, NOT ligaments.    Typically your big toe would have been your first indicator of "Gout" (majority of gout cases are discovered through this route).

They told me once an clearly ingrown big toenail was gout.

It wasn't, it was an ingrown toe nail.
