feelnfit · May 6, 2005

last nite was doing calve press on lifefitness calve press machine. was doing 3rd set of stack x 25reps when i felt a tingle like in my right heel towards the front of theheel. i went on to do 30 min of cardio on eliptical trainer and it felt a little sore. woke up this morn and it was really sore. limp around for about 1/2 hour using crutches then felt a little better. still real sore on bottom of pad. will take some lori-tabs when i get home. what did i do. i have had heel trouble about 2 years ago that would last a couple months then go away. some one told me it was a sign of protein being too low. i eat about 300 grams a day but yesterday it was down to about 200grms.
thanks for any help.

Probably gout. Take some anti inflamatories.

No offense bro, but I have gout and it only happens in the joints. Its uric acid crystals that form in the joints and when you bend the joint it grinds the crystals. Yes it is as painful as it sounds. It flat out sucks. If I don't take allinolpurinol it flares up and I can't even walk.

I do alot of grilling and usually have a beer in hand while I'm doing it. I pay the price afterwords. Like FNF said meat & alcohol triggers it off.

War story on how I confirmed it was gout: I HAVE TO TELL THIS

The fucking doc at the hospital took my foot and dangled it from the gurney, pulled my big toe down to seperate it and stuck a damn needle in between the joint to get a lab test sample. I can honestly say that, that is the worst pain I have ever felt. I damn near passed out. The doc didn't give anypain killer or anything. My foot would have went up his ass if it didn't hurt so damn bad. Never mind a f-ing blood test

FNF I think you might have deep bruised your heel and the swelling is irritating the nerves in your heel. Plus walking on it is just agitating it. Been there done that also bro.
