    he finally shared it today but im not sure if he knew what he was on about after reading what everyone else has said about there gout levels i it has gone from 500 to just under 700 and i dont think somehow he is telling me the right thing or just hasnt read it properly

    he finally referred me to a rheumatologist after i called him a idiot and unfourtunatly im too far south for you to sort him out it would be nice to see him taken down a peg or two though

    im not quite sure why it started two threads but it did so what can i say 🙂

    i dont know why he wouldnt share it it may be because he is an idiot is what im guessing i had xrays taken and at the moment there is no joint damage in my toes but there is starting to be joint damage in my hip

    im going back to see the doctor on thursday and i will ask for my gout levels and then i will know how bad it is/was

    they wouldnt share with me my uric levels except to say it is steadily increasing over the blood tests it was my gp who got the test results back and they were checked at by the orthopaedic surgeon

    ive had typical gout symptoms according to the doctor it started in my left big toe where it swelled and it was hot to touch i couldnt walk for about 7 days when it first started but then it was gone

    my doctor gave me diclophenac but it didnt make any difference and then he just said take ibuprofen untill they could determine if it is gout by the 8th set of blood they have taken today
