Thanks for all your good info. Never experienced any finger pain or swelling, but definitely toe problems. My gout was initially diagnosed as turf-toe, which is different from traditional gout. Personally, I get shooting pains throughout my leg, but they do ease with rest. I looked up a few studies about gout a while ago, I’m sure definitely related to food and high uric levels. Studying info from forums and websites helps me cope better. Good piece of writing, very nicely done too. Mr Baker
