This is probably not the place to put this, but I am going to do it anyway.
I had gout for 20 years before it was correctly diagnosed. In that time, it went from the simple extemities up/in to my elbos and knees. It was brutal. The term of the attacks trended longer and longer.
When it was finally diagnosed, I was told that I should get on the medication as every attack degraded my joints. Imagine having sand in a joint on your car...not good.
I started on medication about 5 years ago. They gradually upped the dosage and now I can say that I have not had a gout attack in 3 years.
What I am trying to say is forget about the cane and take the medication.
