Serendipity asked:
I have had extreme pain, swelling and stiffness in my big toe joint for three months. It started there and within about 3 weeks my ankle swelled up and the pain is excruciating. I can’t put a shoe on anymore because my foot is so swollen. I had MRIs with an orthopedist which showed synovitis and rheumatoid problems. I have an appt. with the rheumatologist in a couple of weeks and will suffer until then. The ortho mentioned gout. My symptoms seem consistent however I am a 30 year old woman, 5’7″, 115 pounds and my diet is really healthy – I make all my food which is usually chicken or fish, veggies, fruit, cereal, brown rice…not bad at all. I don’t fit the profile of gout at all. Is it possible???
