yes anne, twice, the first an agonising toe thumb attack that had me throwing in the towel (and the triage)..... Had another over my mater and a UTI.....
The second came last week on the back of a chest/cough and I thought it was a flu-related ache in the ankle, anyway to cut the story short, it turned out to be a side-reaction to the Allopurinol that the quack had put me on, my body unable to handle the wash-out of uric acid naturally, should we say. It wasn't the pain this time, the attack more in the upper foot and debilitating that it was. With this, I went in and saw him, Colchicine(3x4) and then Naproxen to take over on Day 3 and Omneprazole to help..... It worked.
