But before you had it you lived like a farmer / salesman. Drank and ate lots of red meat. Facts are that the majority of people in the uk it’s related to excess purines in the diet. Reduce these through better eating and flush out uric acid through more drinking of water. There are a few other causes but these are less common. So as I said in my first post it’s mainly a disease of good western living and diet.this part of your post.
''It’s mainly a disease of good living and a modern western diet ''
Sorry but i lived like a tea total vegan on a diet for three months and my gout was the worst it had ever been! Only good hydration and allupurinol works for me.
Build up of Uric acid crystals. Bicarb of soda works well, use refresher sweets they are bicarb with very little sugar.Mrs N suffers with gout now and then, this time it's just in one foot, swells up really painfully.
Doctor sent her a course of Etoricoxib 60Mg, which she'd had a few years ago, seems it has one or two side effects, one of which is needing to pee a lot.
How’s the arm? I had pretty similar problems after spending a day clipping blackie hoggs with a rattly old handpiece last summer, it’s only now that I’m not really noticing it. Also put my back out a couple of months ago, went into spasm and literally couldn’t move (lost a fight with a 9’ telegraph pole strainer, first thing in the morning, hadn’t warmed up), was on the hill and had to phone for help to get me back on the quad that I was standing beside! Anyway, I have fully recovered from that, much faster than expected, did a lot of stretching in the first 2-3 weeks after, but have also been taking turmeric, recommended to me by a friend, who’s cousin makes these:At some point my right arm has stopped working, if I have a long day nailing post and rail I am really struggling with sharp pain from my forearm past elbow on the outside of my arm. it’s strange I can move my arm and I have strength but it hurts to grip and is generally very painful, it’s at it’s worse when trying to write.
There’s also a strange click when I straighten my arm, the pain is worse when my wrist is stretched up.
if I have a steady day on it gets better, but after a day hammering yesterday I’m struggling to move my arm today
Can’t go to a physiotherapist, so I’m open to any advice
I still have a bad arm, but I seem to just work round it, it hurts to hammer and is generally painful, but I am just used to it now.How’s the arm?

Was also having problems with my knees but haven’t been noticing them at all recently, I figured it was worth a try and certainly don't regret it. Don’t know if it a just because I’m not so ignorant as I was regarding turmeric previously, but I’m sure I’m seeing it pop up more and more now, could just be browser cookies tho.
I have recently had problems with both of my arms . Very painful to put pressure on them . Eventually got a bit of advice of the Dr who said he thought I had probably had a virus and it was the after effects of it . I'm no type sure if it's the same as you got but my arms are improving slowly .I still have a bad arm, but I seem to just work round it, it hurts to hammer and is generally painful, but I am just used to it now.
Hoping it mends slowly, plenty of stretching and hope
Will silage tape do the same?
How do you recover from tennis elbow?

That's what my Dr was alluding to without actually mentioning it !As you talk around your circle of friends the conversation will generally fall to the fact we're all suffering from more aches and pains than usual, I do have a theory that as you get older Rigour Mortis begins to set in but there is probably much to be said about the theory that what we are feeling are after effects of catching a mild form of Covid. Pretty much all of us can say that we had a good dose of flu around last Christmas so that could well have been the start of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Get some timberfix screws and an impact driverAt some point my right arm has stopped working, if I have a long day nailing post and rail I am really struggling with sharp pain from my forearm past elbow on the outside of my arm. it’s strange I can move my arm and I have strength but it hurts to grip and is generally very painful, it’s at it’s worse when trying to write.

You can’t screw rails on the screws snap after about 5 yearsGet some timberfix screws and an impact driver
They certainly will if you use indoor screws, but not if you use coated exterior timber screws , galvanised nails aren't rust proof nowadays,You can’t screw rails on the screws snap after about 5 years
