Gout is nothing to play with. Gout can have a person feel like they are dying and cannot move. I watch my husband suffer when he swells up with it and nothing he does helps it.
If you have enough crystals in your body, they will start to appear and rise through the skin and they are visible. They look like white bumps and can appear on toes and fingers and other places and they can get big and grow.
Gout can form in any joint ranging from toes, knees, elbows, fingers, hands, ankles, ribs, back, shoulder and anywhere else it can creep into. There is little to no help that they can do to help.
Medications don't even help, it may bring relief but gout can come right back and more aggressive.
The only thing that they can do to help is but insurance won't even approve it and it is a back and forth thing with them trying to get things started but it takes forever.

Wound care was suppose to get him in but that never happened and we have been using wound care wash and cleaning it often. It looks way better then when he was in the hospital because it was purple and black looking but now its not as bad as it was.
Mind you he has only one kidney and his body cannot filter the uric acid out of his body. He also is in stage 2-3 kidney disease and have rheumatoid arthritis.
