This is gout-very painful, usually treated by a medicine called colchicine. Causes include a build up of uric acid in the bloodstream, due to diet and alcohol consumption. See your health care provider for treatment. I am a registered nurse with over 25 years in health care. Feel better soon

Gout. Very painful. Avoid shellfish, alcohol, nuts and increase water consumption to flush out as much urea as possible. Try supplementing with sour cherries and may need Allopurinol prescription from doctor.
