I prefer to call it Grout cause that is what it feels like between the joints.
Glad the sharing helped someone.
We all face complicated personal challenges, perhaps more at the moment than many have experienced before. Sharing our various responses strengthens us all.
As a side note, the person we hired to help with the roofing backed out, so DH is doing it himself, as usual, while still managing his own work schedule. So far, though, his foot seems to still be healing and a morning of work made no negative impact. Using a scaffold and those standing boards has made a difference, as he is avoiding walking on sloped surfaces.
Hey Global2010, I can’t tell you how pleased I am to have found this old thread. I am dying here.
I have never had gout and I have not been diagnosed yet, but I am reasonably certain that is what is killing my feet... mostly my left foot.
It started last week when we had to make an unplanned 9 hour drive, and then drive back.
I’ve been toughing it out in hopes it would just go away, but it’s not.
I just sent my wife to the store to buy the items mentioned on this thread.
I’ll try to get into the doc tomorrow. Damn this stuff is painful.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for this old thread. ;>)
