I get it sometimes if I eat a ton of seafood....but only in my feet (big toe)...never heard of it in someones knee

Seafood and red vino gave it too me once. Couldn't even put a sheet over my foot.

Are you all senior citizens, WTF???

[rearadmiral]

Has dick to do with age. Used to be called 'Rich Man's Disease' (vino, seafood, other rich foods).

[BS1]

what RA said....my brother started getting it when he was 24....can't even look at seafood anymore

Definitely form eating and drinking well. I'm going to stop taking my 3 fish oil pills for a while and see if that helps. The meds are working I can bend it and it now appears to be just the pain form the tendon again and not the entire knee.....I'll take that for now.

The tendon was just a partial tear, right? If so it'll heal itself. Just an FYI, smoking apparently slows the healing process.

Gout: the Diet Myth
The mistaken belief that diet "causes" gout has been around for centuries. You may have heard gout being described as the "Disease of Kings." This is because kings were thought of as having rich diets, and centuries ago it was believed that gout was caused by what you ate. However, today we know that this just is not true.
Now we know it has a lot more to do with how your body handles uric acid, the underlying cause of gout, than the kinds of foods you eat. In some people (10%), uric acid builds up in the blood because their body produces too much of it. In the rest (90%), the kidneys don't eliminate uric acid efficiently, causing it to build up.
In reality, although certain foods may trigger a gout attack, they aren't the cause of gout. Gout's true cause is high uric acid in the blood. In order to reduce your risk of gout flares over the long term, you'll need to take steps to decrease your uric acid level and keep it low. Reducing uric acid levels to less than 6 mg/dL is the goal for managing gout over the long term. Learn more about long term management of gout.

The more you know haha

I'm not talking about gout, dude. I'm talking about your partially torn patella tendon. Because I had 2 completely ruptured patella tendons, and smoking slows the healing process for some reason.

The other posts were unrelated to yours buddy....i was just reading about it and thought it relavent to our earlier posts about gout.


Smoking is always bad.......but so is my attitude towards my fellow man if I dont. Its a push

[lugnutz]

Drink 8 to 16 cups (about 2 to 4 liters) of fluid each day, with at least half being water. I can do that
Avoid alcohol. bwhahahaha
Eat a moderate amount of protein, preferably from healthy sources, such as low-fat or fat-free dairy, tofu, eggs, and nut butters. yogurt is yummy
Limit your daily intake of meat, fish and poultry to 4 to 6 ounces (113 to 170 grams). if 4-6 is 10-12 I can do it

The Harvard kid 3 days from graduation with a wife 4 months along "drowning" in Portland. Smiley Face Killer strike again or what? I don't understand how A: Nobody saw or heard him, there are people all over that area on a Sat night. B: His "friends" left him to fend for himself or C: how falling in 50 degree water doesn't sober you right up, at least enough to jolt your adrenaline. Unless he was roofed or some such thing.
