PAIN!

[kevyn]

OgodsIaminSOMUCHPAIN!

My right knee has just about locked into position, I can't even begin to bend it anymore. It doesn't appear very swollen, but it's generating a lot of heat -- it's noticeably warmer to the touch than the other knee.

I'm pretty much bedridden, now. I can't even hobble to the bathroom.

OMG! I think you're right about gout! I had thought that it was the osteoarthritis, but I didn't have any unusual wear. And I only usually get gout in my toe, and only after I've eaten a lot of meat.

Then it dawned on me:

I ate a whole turkey in the week between Christmas and New Year (when the knee started acting up). Including... drumroll please... organ meats!

Yup yup yup. It's gout. i always drink lots of water. Need to get some cherry juice.
