After 10+ years of gout attacks, it finally moved to my heel.

Vent

I feel like I've identified my triggers and I haven't had an attack in years. I always got it in my big right toe joint. It was annoying and painful, but usually manageable to kinda hobble around.

Well today's the day where it decided to move from a relatively mild case in my toe to my heel. And boy howdy, this is probably the most painful one I've had to deal with.

There's literally no reprieve. There's no way I can walk without it being excrutiating. I can't rest my foot anywhere because it's always touching my heel or forcing me to balance my foot, which is too painful.

Whoever invented humans needs to be fired. This shit sucks.
