I’m not sure that what I have is gout. Help?
Linda asked:
My big toe has been hurting for about two days. It came out of nowhere and I have never experienced this before. It feels fine unless I put pressure on my toe or move it. It is not swollen at all, or red or hot. Could this still be gout? I’m only 26, I heard gout rarely affects people under 40?
I don’t remember hurting my toe in any way. It does not bother me at all as long as there is no pressure on it. I can bend it in all directions but it is uncomfortable. Definitely not bad enough to not be able to put on a sock. No alcohol lately…I am 37 weeks pregnant…maybe that has something to do with it?
