Took Mom to the doctor , she has Gout again

United States
February 24, 2018 4:49pm CST
Lucky for us her doctor is open on Saturday, she can't move her arm, because her elbow hurts. The last time, she had flu like symptoms back in April , she had gout in the foot. So they are trying to figure out how come she is getting this so often, and now in a new part of the body. I have a bad cough, but had to go with her, she can't drive with her arm, she can't get dressed by her self, her arm hurts and is swollen. Hope you all are having a great weekend. Stay healthy

Greasy foods will bring on gout, too much fat in foods.

I sympathize with your Mom. Gout can be very painful! I have had it a few times. If it's caused from uric acid, drinking tart cherry juice will help, as well as drinking lots of water and mimimizing proteins.

I read that green tea helps prevent gout as it melts down the acid that causes it.
