Title: Question of feet
Post by: Shaymon on May 02, 2011, 01:36:12 PM

hi Guys

Here's a strange one for you. I keep getting really bad pain in my feet. it comes on over a few hours and lasts 24-48 hours. The pain is really bad and makes me walk funny. Also it feel like I've walked 20+ miles and my feet where they don't hurt (muscular pain) they really ache too. Also when I get this  I feel generally crap with vomiting.

Have any of you guys had this and if so what is it? Normally I only get this every few months but I've now had 2 'attacks' in 10 days. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.

Thanks for your time and if I'm way off here just call me some kind of whoose I deserve it for wasting your time :shy;

ATB

Yours

Shaymon

Could it be gout?

sounds like gout to me....  i thought nuropothy as well, but way more like gout.

Was it pain in your big toe? If it was, mostly like gout.

Probably gout, talk to your GP,  it is really, really painful.

The pain from a gout attack used to make me extra nauseous and since the attacks are usually pre-dialysis, nausea was pretty much a constant.

Hi All

For further information the pain is not in my toes but on top of the foot or in the instep. There is no swelling or reddening of the skin. I just wondered if it was connected to my failing kidneys????? Maybe the levels of uric acid too high or something?? Otherwise I got a Neph appointment next week so perhaps I'llmention it to them.


Thanks for the responses
