I went to the er the other day because my ankle all of the sudden developed a big lump. They said it was gout?the lump has since went down but my ankle is now swollen and black and blue.. Is this a gout symptom, or could it have not been gout?

Hmm. The literature I've read and also stated by my doctor is that gout symptoms usually show up in the toes, usually the big toe. I'd get another opinion if I were you. I've had gout, and it was NEVER like your symptoms.

When I get gout, eating a few sticks of celery alleviates the pain takes down the swelling.. Nothing else seems to work for me except a prescription from my doctor; however, since I've started taking supplements, I haven't had gout. Check out this ABC television link and the other one if you want more information.
