So, the infamous toe injury is back! I know what you're thinking...I had another whooper didn't I? Well, it might come as a surprise, but I didn't have a Whopper. So, I thought I'd do some investigating on this mysterious toe pain. My new self-diagnosis is gout. Don't roll your eyes or mock me. I know what you're thinking. A lot of great people in our human history have had gout...so why wouldn't I? If I recall from my elementary days...Mr. Benjamin Franklin had the gout. I would like to add that the great website of wikipedia also informed me that gout effects the big toe...in the exact joint that is giving me pain.
Here's the kicker...I was talking to my mother-in-law and she informed me that her father has gout and it's triggered by things he eats. Guess what's one of them?! A Whopper!!! That's right...who's laughing now?! Well, actually she didn't say a Whopper, but she did say, "red meat" and unless Burger King is false advertising (which is entirely possible) the Whopper is in the red meat camp! Once I get some good insurance (Sept 1), I'll be making my way to a doctor to confirm my online medical diagnosis.
If any of you has a mysterious medical problem, feel free to email me and I'll be sure to help you out.
