can you get gout in two months?

can you get gout in two months?I have been drinking 2 to 3 glasses of wine daily for the past two months. I don't eat red meat, drink plent of water everday and I weigh 105 pounds. Recently my left knee joint would start hurting whenever I have been standing/walking too much. The rest of the time, it looks and feels perfectly fine, not red, not swollen, not tender, but when it starts hurting (it would ONLY hurt when I have been standing/running for too long), the joint would feel somewhat warmer than usual. I've never ever injured this knee before, so if it's not gout, I don't know what else it could be.
I've stopped drinking wine for two weeks now but my knee would still hurt when I have been walking/running too much. If I sat in a chair all day, it would feel perfectly fine, even when I press hard on the joint it doesn't hurt a single bit. what the heck is going on.

it seems to me that you're not getting enough nutrients to fortify your joints (ex: knees)
i suggest you try something that would replace the nutrients that might come from the meat or try some joint vitamins or calcium tablets
you can get them from any health store
or even costco

Yes, a person can have the gout act up in two months. I have a friend and a family member who have gout, the friend had his gout act up a few times within a month.

It is also possible that you could have an additional form of arthritis going on along with the gout but I would recommend checking with your doctor on Mon to see what they say.
