If it's gout, you will know.
we're talking an 8-9/10 for pain. Throbbing, hot burning, pain for days. I can't walk when my gout kicks in. I'm forced to use crutches and an ass ton of painkillers.

You can get a blood test that tells you your uric acid levels. But the only way to truly know if you have gout is to get a big ass needle inserted into the area so they can look for the crystals in your synovial fluid.

Sick.
