Possible Gout???
Posted: 07-20-06 11:34am

Hi. I thought i'd see if I can get any insight into this. Here's my history:

due to flooding and not having much water, I went without water for a few days (just enough to survive basically). The day that water became available again, I drank a normal amount. The next day, I gained 5 pounds of fluid in my ankle (couldn't even see my ankle bones!). The next day, I drank a lot of water trying to get rid of the fluid, and it helped. By two days later, the fluid in my ankle was pretty much all gone, and I had lost almost 8 pounds. Right about at that time, I noticed my lymph nodes in my neck were tender and my ankle (right below the inside ankle bone down to the bottom of the foot) was really tender and when I pressed on it it felt like it was black-and-blue (but didn't look it). It's been close to 2 weeks now that it has hurt. The neck pain went away the day after it hurt, but not my ankles. I have pitting edema of the inside ankle area, and it hurts. Not like a ouch! Kind of pain, but it does hurt when pressed and sometimes feels kind of achey when not touched.

I'm not really sure what is wrong. I have no other symptoms, exept maybe slightly not feeling well in general (can't really pin-point).

though they are not purely gout symptoms, it is brother of gout. i have experienced it.
the joint movements restricted. sinovial fluids gathers on joints. cant put weight on it.
reason is considered a cartilage disorder which sence wrongly for volume of joint fluid.
lot of pains. fluid can be removed with a syringe for immediate relief but not advised because that can become regular practice. wearing of stalking is advised. For final diagnose, the fluid can be tested in a path-lab to come on conclusion.
