gouty arthritis
"I first experienced gout 22 years ago in one of my big toes.  Suffered through that attack and a few years later I experienced a few more attacks.  Eventually went to a doctor and was diagnosed as gout.  As the years passed, I had attacks in various joints.  I would get pain in one ankle, then it would move to the other ankle or one of my knees.  The pain would luckily ocate in only one joint at a time.  In the fall of 2014, I had an attack so bad on my knee that image repeated trips to the medical clinic and received shots of Decadron and prednisone packs for treatment.  The pain would go away only to return 2-3 weeks later.  Made 4 total visits during that period.  Just yesterday, I had to go back for treatment from an acute attack."
