I felt it start last Saturday after work. Side note, I walk 5 miles everyday doing my job at work. I know this, because I have wore a pedometer before at work to see for myself. My left foot's big toe was killing me, but I couldn't think of anything I had done to hurt it. Thinking it would get better with rest, I spent all of Sunday with my foot up and in pain. Monday morning it felt somewhat better so I went to work. I still felt pain with every step but, I don't often goto the Dr. as you can tell. The mornings were always really hard. Tuesday I went to work and worked all Tuesday as the pain became worse with every step. Wednesday I worked until just after lunch when I could not take the pain anymore. It felt like the worst zit you could ever have and it was on the ball of my big toe. I could feel my heart beat just from the pain in my toe with no movement.
Many of you already know I drink Budweiser, often a few on a daily basis after work. Since I didn't know what I had or what might be the cause, I continued to eat meat & drink Budweiser after work. With the recent holiday weekend(Memorial Day) I had alot of meat (brats & steak) that I cooked and had frozen. I've spent the days after the holiday eatting all this meat up sometimes for breakfast before work and during lunch. Looking at what helps to cause gout attacks I find that eatting meat often or drinking beer often can cause it. Looking back now it's clear what the cause was. I have found many sources on the web with information about it, but I want to know what you know 1st hand.
