For 11/2 months I ve been having severe pain in the bottom of my right foot. it feel like I m stepping on large rocks in bare feet, but I m wearing thick soled tennis shoes. When I m bare feet, OMG,,I can barley walk. Right foot only. I had a introductory bout with Gout about 4 months ago on my big toe. (right foot) That when I was diagnosed with Gout. I was tramamtized! I enjoy life at 62, I stay active in church,job and socially, and I don t know how to help my body fight this Gout. I know it s hereditary, and I d like to help my off spring prevent from developing it. I have 3 Adult sons. 2 are healthy and one is overweight. I went on line and made a list of foods to eliminate from my diet and I REALLY have a Problem drinking a lot of water. Lately ,because of my pain and being desperate for relief, I ve been drinking water all day and through the night when I wake. I keep 32 0z on my headboard shelf and sip each time I wake through the night, which I do often. I Urinate about 5 times through the night. .
