The good news is that the pain is now bearable, the swelling has gone down and hopefully the crystals can be dispersed with medication. Bad news is that I can't use my hand properly without the support, and this coupled with instructions to 'rest' the joint means still no sewing, but in comparison with all the other problems happening around the world, things aren't too bad really.
Glorious Spring sunshine has meant that even though my quilting passion can't be fed at least my other favourite pastime, walking, is keeping me sane :-)

I'm sorry you have gout, tho I am glad to know the Dr. can control the pain. I worked for a man who had gout. When he had a flare up, he'd just have to take it easy for a few days until the swelling went down. Feel better, my friend!
Oh dear, I do hope it eases soon.
Enjoy the spring weather.
Can you tell me how they test for that? WOuld love to know as I am having problems for some time now and my blood test shows high inflammation
cheers
