I had surgery 10 months ago, lost 110 lbs, am 25 lbs from my goal weight. I don't know if I have gout or not - never did before, but in the last couple of weeks I've gotten sudden horrible pain in my middle toe and the one next to my big toe... but not the big toe... to the point where I can not walk. It sometimes lasts 10 minutes, sometimes an hour. No swelling or redness but I can't imagine what else it would be.
My diet is mainly protein - I eat meat (red mostly, some chicken, some pork), nuts, cheese and eggs.... my treat is watermelon... My goal is 60 -80 grams of protein a day - I also use Genepro - protein powder - 30 grams in one serving added to my coffee in the morning. I drink at least 60 ounces of water a day, normally more...
Can you, do you get gout in different toes other than the big toe?
I've not yet gone to the doctor for it.. Thanks, Kim
