gout attack night before surgery



Recommended Posts

I'm so frustrated and upset right now. I made it to Tijuana safely a few hours ago. The plane ride and everything else went great. Throughout the day, however, my foot has been getting more and more sore. I know the signs well-I'm having a gout flare up.

My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning with Dr. Garcia. Now I don't know what's going to happen. More than likely, I'll be in a lot of pain and will have difficulty waking. I wonder if he will cancel my surgery? I hope not.

Hopefully he can give me something to treat the gout. Here in the U.S. I would probably get prednisone. Not sure if there is anything he can do for me here.

I feel so defeated right now. (Sorry. I just needed to vent.)

My husband has gout and takes colchicine when he has an attack. Daily he takes colcrys and allopurinol. Colcrys has replaced colchicine. In the past year.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
