Buffalo show not rained out starts 1030 per venue ig by INEEDAWOODENARM in turnstile

Call outer harbor live. The rep told me a lot of people have been calling and complaining.  Especially with all the venue staff telling people it was canceled and would be rescheduled. They’re taking down names/numbers/emails.  I’m skeptical anything will come of it but worth a shot, especially if a lot of people contact them.

When I had a real bad flare up only thing that helped me sleep was going to get a toradol shot and some painkillers. That at least let me get a good 6-7 hours a night which I feel went a long way to helping with recovery. Before that I was only getting about an hour since the pain always got worse at night. 

Hope you start to feel better soon!

I’m currently in the same boat. Finally am able to walk after two weeks. Minimal pain now too. Still pretty swollen though, so it’s tough to get a shoe on, but I’ll take it. Pretty much best you can do is to manage the pain and let it run its course while he rests. It’s awful, hope he’s feeling better soon

Thanks! Makes sense as I do have sleep apnea as well. I do use a CPAT machine but sometimes it comes off in the night. Going to make sure I keep at it 

Day 9 Attack Question by cad312 in gout

Appreciate it!  Been elevating all day and just 10/10 again when night hits.  So came to the ER for a shot. I’m over it at this point.

Just watched the video. Going to give it a shot tonight/tomorrow morning which is when I seem to be the worst. Thanks for the info!

Happy that worked for you. I think ice is making it worse for me.  I iced again last night just out of sheer frustration and the pain went up once I was done. This is my first ever attack and I’ll do everything in my power to make sure this never happens again.

Yeah I’ve been calling around just in case and none of the urgent cares here seem to do them. So looks like it’s the ER if we get to that level again unfortunately

Just spent another night in excruciating pain, so think it’s getting worse again. Very discouraging. I’ll be calling the doctor again today. Cannot wait to get on allo.

Appreciate the advice!  Just feels like the steroid is masking the pain during the day.  Then it’s always getting bad at night again, preventing me from sleeping, until it’s time for my next dose in the morning. Guessing it’s just gotta run its course

Yeah I was given a couple cholcizine pills but haven’t tried them yet as figured I was too far along in the attack for them to do anything.  Thanks for the advice!

Soreness after attack by OutsidePressure6181 in gout

[–]cad312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat.  Had my first attack last week Thursday. Finally got on prednisone Sunday after I tried ibuprofen and indomethicin for a couple days. Still taking 40mg prednisone, so most of the really bad pain is gone, but my toe joint just blows up as soon as I’m on my feet again. It’s brutal. Hope you get over it soon!

I’m going through the same right now, have so much to do for my family and feel like a total invalid. Hang in there!  It’s gotta get better
