I woke up this morning feeling great. I sat down on the couch and scrunched my legs up here with me. I freaked out when I saw my ankle. My right ankle is swollen and full of fluid. No pain at all but the swelling is unbelievable!! I told my friend THIS is not MY ankle. She asked whose ankle it was! 
I called my mother, the nurse. She told me to google gout. My friend agreed with her BUT, isn't gout associated with pain or just during an attack?? I have been lectured this morning on high levels of uric acid in the bloodstream, eating too much protein, blah, blah, blah. I've elevated it but that's not helping. Any ideas?

Check out 'Get Running' if you have an iPhone.
Runs in the family, I suppose.
. I have tendonitis in my foot/lower leg. I have to stay off of it, elevate it, use heat treatments and anti-inflammatories and pain meds. My copay was only $25 so that alone was worth the pain meds LOL! I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with the 6WEC. This sucks! Unfortunately, my workouts just got easier but that means some tweaking for foods, I imagine. I'm going to sit here for awhile and keep it elevated as I have been standing/walking and the nurse wrapped the ace bandage waaaaay too tight. I'll catch up with the posts and relax and THEN I'm going to the kitchen to cook my first spaghetti squash to use for "noodles" and throw that together with some creamy alfredo sauce and shrimp. I'm soooo hungry!
