Gout Break Again

After work yesterday, I went to a friends house to help with some yard clean up. My friend Gail, is someone I grew up with. Our parents were friends and we all grew up together out at the lake in the summer and on the ski hill in the winter.

She has a bunch of trees that need to be pruned back and I agreed to help her. I was only there for a couple of hours and by the time I was leaving, my feet were pretty painful and I felt just a twinge of knee pain in my right knee.

By the time I got home, the knee pain was increasing and continued to get worse as the night wore on.

I assumed another gout attack and took two steroid pills when I went to bed. The pain was better this morning but I took another steroid pill just to help knock it out.

My knee feels pretty good right now although I'm back to feeling just a twinge of discomfort.

Thank the Lord I have these steroids pills. They really knock out the on set of Gout.

5:15PM: I am happy to report that any sign of gout pain in my knee is gone.
