[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 594218, member: 1233"] How does he describe the pain? Sharp, hot, cold, icy, stabbing, throbbing, ??? I haven't had gout or any experience with it. Does he have any history of nerve pain? That is what it sounds like to me. I get nerves that just sort of freak out or have hissy fits (whatever you want to call it) and send pain messages that have little correlations to anything actually wrong with my body. They are more common in my feet, lower legs, arms and hands, but can happen anywhere. Right now we are out of things to try for this as even pain medications don't really do anything for them. They just are. Some days i cannot walk because of this. Freaks husband and the kids out to see me scooting on my tush to the bathroom, but oh well, It keeps me from getting out the electric knife or the jigsaw and cutting my foot or leg off. Sometimes that seems like a rational thing to do, which is usually when I realize it had gotten really bad again. For nerve pain, there IS medication. Lyrica or neurontin are now used widely for this and I know many who have had relief. ANY sharp pain that recurs or lasts for hours is a sign that you NEED medical attention. We went through years of testing before the docs settled on a cause of nerve pain because they wanted to rule everything possible out first. The only time I broke a bone was a toe and it didn't swell or bruise until about a week later. No clue why, and it was clearly broken but the doctor didn't do anything because of where the bone was. I jammed a toe swimming and somehow broke a little bone in the toe, or so they said. The pain didn't go away though. [/QUOTE]
