Book Board Chat

Good afternoon, The bookboardchat truely knows all :-). A few years ago I thought I had broken my foot. It was so painful that I couldn't even hop on the other foot because the jarring was unbearable. DH went and bought me some crutches so I could get to the ER. They x-rayed and said it was probably due to an old injury and told me to keep off of it (DUH) and see an Orthopedist. I kept it elevated for a few days and it gradually improved - never saw an Orthopedist. From what I've read here today, I'm pretty sure it was gout and now I remember that my Dad suffered with gout off and on. I've haven't had any more episodes.
