GoodBye Fred Flintstone foot!

Looks like some good news here at ‘Chez Barnacle. Bout time!
I went to Denver as you may know in early july.
Welp it seems I musta treated that trip like a Roman orgy! I bet I slobed down more Coors beer in 10 days than I would Belikin’s in 15 days! I did not eat much junk food at all, unless you count those 6 tacos at Jack-off-in-the –box, or that nasty burrito at the Gas-n-Fart. And I have no recollection of eating a sack of 7-11 Jalapeno dogs, but I am told I did? Otherwise I was good.
It had to be the Coors.
Anyway, gout has KICKED my ass ever since! First one foot, then a knee, then another foot, then an ankle, and back to the foot.
I am the type of guy who don’t go to the DR unless I cannot stop the bleeding, and so I was self-diagnosing and medicating myself. With shitty results! Scouring the interwebs, consulting my other drunken buddies who have had experience, and I saw no results, AT ALL.
So today I had enough. Caught the early flight to BZ city to see a doc.
First guy sent me down the hall to another doc.
This guy checked me all out and changed my drugs.
(side note: while standing at the pharmacy counter waiting on my drugs, I looked up and there hanging on the wall was at least 5 different types of penis pumps! And nearby was a pile of Viagra's.)
Had blood work done and for the most part I will live!
Got home and popped his new pills and I swear the swelling has already gone done in 5 hours!!
And not much pain at all. I bet in the morning it will be dancing time!
What have I learned here? Maybe, just maybe, some of my drunkin buddies should not be the source of my medical advice?
Naw,, just get second opinions!


Now,, look who just got a new Lastolite 24x24  softbox! Yea baby!
2 internal diffusers, stes up in a couple minutes, folds flat for storage, weighs nothing!
No all I need is someone else to sit in front of it,,,,,,,

The only downside of drinking in a bar day-in and day-out is you have to put up with a lot of worthless drunks.

Let's get this straight. You took viagra for your gout then used a penis pump for 4 hours before the swelling went down?

our buddy from Dallas suffers from gout off and on and he says it is the worst pain EVER. Glad you are feeling better!
