I have gout in my foot and it seems to have spread to my other joints. Right now the pain is controlable but lifting weights will only cause stress to my joints and activate the gout more. So I have been given a choice.....either stop all lifitng, or face a future that is filled with pain and deformed joints.....I am so depressed right now I can hardly function. -------------- Less Talk, More Chalk! 7707mutt@freetrainers.com

What about trying some jointment sport? Maybe even magnetic theraypy? Sounds queer but I have bought a magnetic bracelett and anklet and my knees and shoulder feel 10 times better. I would seek a second opinion maybe a orthopedic or a sports therapist would be able to see things in a differnt light.

Mutt, definately get a 2nd opinion and if you can, see a rheumatologist. -------------- Scales are for dead weight: We are not dead yet! Still trying to find out how to do the Hollywood Free Press.
