Re: Suspected Gout in my left toe and foot,
Mike, you have my sympathy.
There is a simple test though. They search for Uric acid in the blood. You could get a blood test done quite inexpensively.
Otherwise, like me, you may just have arthritis.

Mikelapta - please be very careful taking Ibruprofen. My wife took it for a period of time and lost her stomach lining

Re: Suspected Gout in my left toe and foot,
Please be careful about both diagnosis and treatment. There are other forms of arthritis which have similar symptoms including uric acid. AlsoZyloric which is sometimes prescribed can cause kidney and liver problems! I repeat only CAN I do not want to be alarmist and it is usually if you have a predilication to such

Re: Suspected Gout in my left toe and foot,
Zyloric is simply a trade name for Allopurinol.
Some side effects are listed here - although the side effects of drinking pure water can be quite severe

Re: Suspected Gout in my left toe and foot,
Allopurinol is only used for preventing the build up of uric acid once you have gout you need to start using indomethcin which I am using at this moment in time. It is available but you might need a prescription you could ask at a pharmacy.

My husband took Allopurinal and it reacted very badly with a medication he took for his COPD.
