With this near perfect weather for this time of year I’ve been laid up with gout in my knee. Doc thought it was something torn at first but thankfully once the swelling went down and a trip to orthopedic they determined it was gout. Much better but my wife told me if I went and it flaired up she wasn’t coming to help me walk. lol. But I hope you are all catching the limits I’m dreaming of.

A crutch can be ordered from Amazon. As soon as it arrived I would be on the boat:Cowboy
Hope you get to feeling better soon. Gout is some painful stuff. I will be stuck at work all weekend.
Best wishes for a quick recovery!
Wish you a quick recovery, from my understanding red meat is a big contributor.

Hateful stuff for sure. Had it in my ankles before ...would've swore a 2×4 had more flex. Wishing a speedy recovery for you.

Hope you feel better soon. Went and scoped out 8 mile creek the other day, the launch and retrieval is a little daunting for sure.
Get well soon
Thanks. It is not fun. Lol. If you don’t mind a long paddle there is a great put in about 1.5 miles upstream. But this time of year I find most of the fish there around the tough put in. Go figure. LolQuote:

Safer for fish there. Most people won't take the trouble to get thereQuote:

The first time you get a flare up in your left knee and one in your right big toe and can't walk to the restroom, let alone go fishing, you will get to the doctor! But don't wait for that to happen. Longer joint exposure to the build up can cause permanent damage!
I'm no doctor, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night! LOL!
Lol. The orthopedic told me to talk to my regular dr about it. Since I’m on other meds he wouldn’t prescribe it. But I sure don’t want it again. It’s bad enough in the toe but the knee was almost unbearable.Quote:
