Such a bugger
Would never be a problem if you were on benefits - such a toff with the old claret jug.Such a bugger
Me too it’s a buggerHad it years ago in my big toe. It frigging hurt. As I've got older, get it 2/3 times a year starts off in my foot and goes to my knee. When I feel it coming on pop the naproxen.
Todger!!!!!!!!!! LolNo joking matter I'm sure and have been fortunate to never suffer although an old drinking partner did .
Imagine if you could get it in the todger.
That would bugger you up .
I had it a few years back and saved some naproxen in case and take a couple if I feel it coming on. I’ve managed to work out what food triggers it so just avoid eating too much pastry and cake now.Had it years ago in my big toe. It frigging hurt.

It’s not too bad but on the heel means I just can’t walk or get up or downstairs - pretty annoyingI had it a few years back and saved some naproxen in case and take a couple if I feel it coming on. I’ve managed to work out what food triggers it so just avoid eating too much pastry and cake now.
Symptom diagnosed mainly. You can do a blood test when you have symptoms and it can show a high level of Uric acid in the bloodSeems like the thread.
Since I’ve moved into my parents during lockdown and have been living on my bed and eating shite (in case that’s relevant), I’ve been getting really bad pains come and go in my left knee and seem to get worse with certain junk foods. I’ve just put it down to general bad health, but reading this makes me wonder if it’s gout. How do you know?
From my experience if it's gout it's ridiculously painful and that's just in a toe. I can't imagine what it would be like in a knee.Seems like the thread.

My mum was getting this. I use SIS electrolyte tablets in my water when I go cycling to stop cramp and I gave her some to try. she had a couple and it stopped it so you could try them. They’re about £5 or £6 from Tesco’s or online for a tube but you could halve them to make them last longer.I suffer badly from leg cramp throughout the night. I wake at least 2 or 3 times in bloody agony! Can't move my leg for what seems ages. I have to get up and walk around for a while. Then go back to kip and hope it goes away. I seem to have a week or so of really bad bouts and then it eases for a couple of weeks. It can be either leg, from, strangely, my shin down to my ankles and feet. I'm getting really pissed off with it now, but I just put it down to my age these days.
Got excited when I read this post. However, when I checked on the Boots site, yes, they sell them, but they come with a warning.....My mum was getting this.

Bugger. Worth a try.Got excited when I read this post. However, when I checked on the Boots site, yes, they sell them, but they come with a warning.....

That pretty much buggers it for me. I'm diabetic and also have intestinal problems for which I take Omeprazole every day and will do for the rest of my natural. Thanks anyway E.D.
