Since last weekend, I have climbed the wild mountain and walked for about five hours. When I got home, my legs were too weak to stand. The next day, my state was much better. My husband said that his feet were still a little sore because he fell on the mountain, and he was fat. His slow recovery is understandable. On the third day, my feet became more and more painful and I couldn't touch the ground. When I touched something a little, I cried pain, and the fatigue of climbing the mountain almost recovered. Although it was painful, he insisted on going to work. When he came back at night, he lay motionless in bed, screaming and saying that it was too painful and uncomfortable. His toes are a little swollen. His feet need to be hung by the bed when he sleeps, and it hurts to be next to the quilt. I want to cry because of his pain. He held back the pain and said nothing, then fell asleep silently.
I didn't find the specific cause of pain with Baidu, and I always thought it was the sequela of climbing my ankle. He slept for a while, suddenly bounced out of bed, let out a scream, then covered his feet, gnashed his teeth in pain, and screwed his brows together. We have been together for almost ten years. I have never seen him cry, but this time his feet hurt so much that he cried. At 9 o'clock in the evening, he can't go to the hospital. He let himself sleep in a daze for a while, because he didn't feel any pain when he fell asleep. After about an hour or so, he was awakened by pain again. He woke up repeatedly in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep. He sat on the sofa until dawn.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, we have been waiting in the hospital. The doctor didn't start work until 8: 30, and when he was in pain, he lay prone on the chair in the waiting room. Finally, at half past eight, the doctor looked at his foot, and the whole forefoot was swollen, which was an abnormal pain in the thumb joint. Then draw blood to measure uric acid, which is high. The doctor diagnosed gout, prescribed medicine, applied it orally, and then rented crutches in the hospital before coming back. After taking the medicine, the pain in the afternoon is not as severe as before, and it has slowed down a lot, but it is still difficult to walk. You need someone to help you or use crutches and wheelchairs.
Ok, summary point: the symptoms of gout are in one word: pain, intermittent pain and numbness. My husband described that he would rather cut off his own foot.
The doctor said that the complications caused by not timely treatment are: diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and arteriosclerosis. The reason is that uric acid can cause hyperglycemia and arteriosclerosis, and blood cannot be transmitted to the brain or other parts of the body.
Attention: control your weight, don't eat seafood, don't drink beer, and don't eat cold food.
This experience taught us about gout and pain. It is estimated that my husband will remember it for a lifetime!
