The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Gout?
Hi,Can somebody help, I woke up two days ago with pain on my right foot toe (thumb). There is swelling and can't bend the big foot (right foot's thumb). There is constantly mild pain & hurts badly on touching/pressing. Can't walk as it hurts badly on walking.
Took Rhus Tox 200C single dose about 10hrs ago, no change. Went to allopathic doctor who has prescribed me pain & anti-inflammatory medicine + blood test for kidney check. I had my physical 6months ago an eveything was normal.
I read on the internet that this can come back if not treated. Obviously allopathy has no cure. The allopathic doctor says it happens due to accumulation of uric acid/salt in the toes.
Currently I also have bad sinus congestion, can this have anything to do with it?
Please help.
Thanks
Rajan

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
yes, gout can happen if the kidney is unable to filter out the uric acid from your blood. its a kidney affection and in such cases you should go for a kidney check to be on the safe side.
once its checked and found ok, you can start the treatment based on the presenting symptoms.

let me also tell you that if you take too much of protien, the excess protien gets converted to carbohydrate by the process of deamination. in this metabolic process, urin acid is the by product which has to be removed from the blood.
suggest you substancially reduce intake of red meat or any source of tough protien.

Rishimba,
Thanks for your input/ reply. The kidney function was checked in the recent physical and found to be OK but I am still getting it checked again, blood test & the 24hr urine test, will inform the results in about a week or so.
What I have read on the net is that this happens to those who has been having uric acid problems/kidney function problems for at least 10years, & I don't.
I don't eat red meat & rarely consume chicken & seafood. However, I was on a recent cruise, a week ago, & did consume a lot of chicken & seafood, don't know if a one time heavy intake which the body is not used to can cause this 'gout' probelm.
Since I am in the US, all homeopathic remedies are not readily available, have to special order them, are thre any common remedies which may apply to my case which I can start to remove the 'gout' condition from the toe & start the healing process. I am currently taking Advil/Ibuprofen only.
Thanks

I appreciate the help.
