It's a relatively simple thing to remidy, if that's the problem. Stop being such a bloke and go to the quack!

I know last week on those hot days I did not drink much as it was too hard to park where I was working and the shops were a long walk. I thought only drunks got gout but it seems I was wrong.

Shellfish, too much tomato based foods and or lots of caffiene products can raise the uric acid levels in your blood. With low hyration it crystalizes in the joints of your toes or sometimes ankles and it bloody hurts.

Yep! sounds like gout. Most commonly in the first joint of the big toe, though I have it I my hands as well. Can be connected to food, but your body is simply not handling the uric acid which is generated from protein.. I take two tablets a day to manage it. Has been ok now for the last few years.
Time for your trip to the doctor and a check up on the rest of us old mens dilemmas.
Good luck,
Phil R.

At Holbrook we talked about it and I think it's gout. I will go to the Doctor about it this week.
