Joint Pain

[LovingMeAgain]

Hello,

I have been trying to do Atkins for the last 3 months, but once I get the carbs out of my body, I get excrutiating joint pain in my knees....when I start eating carbs, it goes away. I was reading some of the other threads that said it may be gout. Does drinking a whole lot of water alleiviate this condition? Thank you.

When you went to the OWL phase, what level of carbohydrates made your knee pain go away?

Hmm, to be honest, I wasn't really paying attention. I am not in OWL, I have now stopped Atkins altogether because I was really frightened. I was unable to bring my knee to a 90 degree angle or lift my arms

But the pain is gone now, but I want to get back on Atkins, well I guess I will have to see my doctor then.

See your doctor before you begin, like Dr. Atkins advised us to do.

Here are a couple of links about gout.
