Dr O'Connor

I had a follow up appointment today with Dr. O'Connor to check on my Gout. The quest now is to bring the Uric Acid in my blood down and try to find out what contributes to the build up of  Uric Acid.

My knee feels pretty good today although there continues to be a weak feeling in the knee joint. I can lower myself on the stairs smoothly with my left knee but the weakness in my right knee will not allow me to lower to the next step smoothly. I drop hard and with a little discomfort because I don't have the strength to perform a smooth, slow decent.

I did ask for and receive another supply of Steroid pills to have on hand in case another outbreak of gout attacks me. So, the next time I feel that pain starting to build in my knee, I will inundate it with my own full frontal assault of steroids.
