Gout???

Good Morning,

Today is my 2 week CRT-D implant anniversary...so this morning I'm having a Gout attack in my left foot to celebrate.

Just felt like venting...thanks!

Gout

Ron,

I suffered with gout for years but one day, after about 20 years, it quietly went away, just as it had mysteriously appeared. I think only those that have gout attacks can truly appreciate the pain that goes with one. I used to swear that I could feel the vibrations from a p---ant walking across the floor.

All I can offer is be still, be patient and have others do things for you to keep you from having to move.

Good luck,

Smitty

Try Tart Cherry Juice

Since my first bout with gout I have been drinking Tart Cherry Juice, it seems to be working and from all research done that is highly recommended to keep from getting a second round of it, so far a year it has worked

Lead placement

Sounds like one of those CRT-D leads should have been placed in your foot.

Merry Christmas,

frank

This too shall pass...so they say.

You know you're wired when...

You can finally prove that you have a heart.
