Have you’ve had gout this bad?
I’ve had gout way worse than this…after shoulder surgery, all my pain meds turned into gout medicine. Do you have any gout pictures? Do you want to share them? Let me know, maybe you will be helping someone else feel like they are not the only one.
It’s funny, when the first symptoms of gout come on, you’re like “huh? It’s what? You mean I didn’t twist my ankle?” Way back in the day when I first got gout, I didn’t even know how to use a computer.
Now you can get some much good info with a click of the mouse. And, pictures of gout, or, gout pictures really helps to get your head wrapped around it.

Bert,
Man I am so glad I stumbled upon your site. I am ready to give up and throw in the towl, this GOUT is getting the best of me. Ill give you a quick background leading up to today. In December 2002 I was diagnosed with gout in my left toe…traditional red, swollen, hurt like hell happened in the middle of the night and couldn’t put my shoe on. Then about a year later I started getting a small bump on my right index finger which lasted for about 2-3 months of pain, swelling, redness doctors couldnt dain anything nor could they tell me what it was and then it solidified (appeaers as a punched out leason on x-Ray). To this day that joint cannot move at all, I have no motion in the first joint in my finger as it now fused togethor not sure if it is Tophi or not. The Gout went to my akle for a little, then the knees and now both wrists (which seems to be the worst of them all). All my doctors for the last 10 years have told me its gout, they have given me indomethicen, prednisone, allopurinol, colchicine, they only one that didnt agrevate it was colchicine and that has kept things at bay for the time being. My current Rheumotologist says it is not gout bacuse there have been no crystals found (drew fluid from my knee from a previsous injury) and that it is early onset ostearthritis. I am currently having an attack in both writst…can’t turn door knobs, brush my teeth put on my clothes or do the simplest things like change my babies diaper without being in agony. My UA levels have always been high and sometimes really high. I have had it as high as 11 and low as about 6.5 so not sure what to think about that. I have included pictures of my finger for reference. Most of all I am ready to get rid of this altogether instead of just getting rid of the attacks as they come. Thanks Bert!!! ~ Mickey

Gout Pictures Are Like Trophies…
Gout Foot! Spotted here! Gout Foot is alive and well and living in LA! New York! London! Paris! In this day and age and in this toxic, acidic world…gout pictures come in from all over the globe.
Gout disease has been around forever…they even found evidence of it in dinosaurs! Dogs get it, birds get it, apes get it. But you know, it’s on the rise in the last 20 years; it’s estimated that there are more than 8.3 million people in the US alone with gout!
…Holy CaRAP!…No More Gout Pictures!
These are the gout pictures you want to avoid…have you ever seen anything so grotesque? I had Tophi…on 6 fingers and 1 toe…and I still have a small knob on my right thumb that I’m trying to make disappear.
If you have some gout pictures, I’d like to have them – let me know. Otherwise, wise up and believe me: Preventing gout is the best gout treatment.
☆ I hope you don’t have gout pictures that look like these!
“I know your pain. Let me help you kill your gout for good! And teach you to advocate for yourself and take ownership of your gout recovery, by showing you how to live the gout-free lifestyle.” Two decades ago, Bert Middleton found himself diagnosed with gout. Like 8.3 million other people in the United States (approximately 4% of the population), he struggled helplessly with the physical, emotional, social, and financial impact that gout left unchecked can have on your life. Prescription drugs were of limited help… And the terrible pain of regular gout attacks left him unable to enjoy even the simplest daily pleasures. His marriage was suffering. His finances were spiraling due to the impact gout had on his ability to work. And maintaining a social life was often nearly impossible. Tophi surgeries left him in terrible pain. And he found himself depressed … and angry … that gout was stealing years of his life.
Until one day, after hundreds of hours of research and self-experimentation, Bert finally had a breakthrough and created a blueprint for a way of living that would prove to be “the answer” to living gout-free for nearly a decade now. Today, Bert and his “Gout Wife” Sharon devote their evenings and weekends to educating other gout sufferers on how to live the gout-free lifestyle. Showing others his 911 Emergency Response Gout Recovery Plan for getting PAINFUL gout attacks under control in as little as 4 hours. And then, how to make daily choices that keep gout under control for GOOD! So you can finally start LIVING again!
