How Can Gout On Both Ankles Causing Buttock Pain Be Treated?
hi, I am a cancer patient. My cancers are macroboublin enemia and amloidois. These have caused gout in both ankles. Which has caused me to take mini steps when I can bear weight. Now have quite a bit of pain and tightness to the left side of butt which runs down leg at times. Have tried naproxen500 took at 7;30 or8. and icy hot rub. What canI do so I can sleep and get to my wheelchair.
