GOUT.
Have it in both feet. Hate it!
Had a flare a month or so ago that was so bad, I couldn't walk. I actually got a pee bottle, so I wouldn't have to hobble walk to bathroom so often.
Yeah, it can hurt that much!
Thankfully it only lasted a week to 10 days at that extreme intensity.
For gout, try Montmorency (tart) Cherry Concentrate. A tablespoon twice a day. Either straight up, or mixed in water to drink.
Start with lesser amount and build up to 2 tbsp, or you'll spend a little more time in the john than you may like.
Tart Cherries are also good for general arthritis and joint help too. Not a cure, but it does help a lot.
The best I've found is from

I used to have a route that took me past there every two weeks. I always bought mine from their farm. It tasted better than store bought, and seemed to work better too. At that time I was buying it for my hand and wrist arthritis. But, I no longer drive past there, and tried store bought, but it didn't seem to help much, plus it tasted bad, so I just quit using it.
Wish now I had of kept up up it. I think it may be time for a road trip to King Orchard for some more relief.. IT WORKED!
It's pricey on line, but if you can't drive there, it's worth it. For one thing they cold process it, which retains all the properties that you need for
Hope this help you out a bit.the fruit.
