Eating Cabbage can cause very bad gout . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Been on Colchicin for 2 days and its easing a bit. No idea what's triggered it as I dont drink. I had severe pain for almost 9 month I kept getting palmed off by the doctor and diagnosed as fibromyalgia put on co proaxamol and codeine for the pain. Got so bad my knee locked and I was taken to hospital where it was drained and sent for testing. Turned out it was CPPD or pseudogout caused by calcium crystals not uric acid crystal so diet or exercise make no difference. I saw/spoke to at least 6 doctors and not one picked it up especially as I'm active and never smoked and have a decent diet. You may want to mention it to the quack mate. Unfortunately bouts lasts longer than normal gout and there is no cure but regular steroid injections and draining keeps it at bay but still have flair ups. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dont like cabbage and dont drink, not overweight and get plenty exercise, would love to know the trigger, possibly hereditary as my dad has arthritis and my grandfather used to get gout.

If you don't get gout under control , you can end up with a very debilitating type of arthritis . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m on allopurinol and if you follow the instructions about starting to take it, and make sure you take it EVERY day and don’t miss a day you’ll be fine. Ive never had any adverse reactions or recurrence and I used to suffer dreadfully with gout. And by the way, mine was/is hereditary, my brothers and dad all suffered from it .
