Linda asks…
I want to know what causes Sweeling in the Feet & Hands?
My dad hurt his foot, We went to the doctors and they said it was fine. After a few weeks it moved from his foot to his hand. It has been going back and forth in both hands as well as his feets. We went to a arthritis doctor and they said it was not gout……. But nothing else! I need to know if anyone can tell me what it may be.

Whatever it is your dad needs to see another doctor and keep on going to different ones until they find out what it is.
Helen asks…
I get pain in my hands and feet when I eat any fatty food, why?
It may be some form of gout pseudogout(crystals of calcium) or uric acid.
admin answers:
Could very well be gout. A doctor could tell you after drawing fluid from the affected area. As recommended, try stayin away from fatty foods. It sux, but we aren’t the 16 yr olds that we used to be (speakin for myself here) when we could eat anything we wanted without worry.
Sandy asks…
hands hurt, arms hurt, feet hurt, fingers hurt, entire body in pain…?
i went too my doc today and explained when i wake up ea day my entire body has been in bad pain. the doc gave me 15mgs roxicet x 2 30mgs total and im still in outrageous pain in my limbs. my hands/fingers, legs, feet etc.. my doc is guessing and says possible GOUT? i go for a uric acid test and well see whats up. but for now im taking 15 too 30mgs of oxycodone/roxicodone 6 times day totalling 180mgs and it alleviates about 20% of the pain. now im very scared as this stuff is potent medication and is not working! what could this possibly be? i have water retention in my feet etc.. i have read that if you kindneys fail too eliminate uric acid that this is possible, the test will tell. i think my diet sucks, my exercise level sucks, i drink too much soda and i eat too much of the same stuff. i have no idea of what too eat with a possible gout diagnosis…. my sleep habits are poor, IM A MESS! so im going too the test and see, ANY ADVICE? is this just a bad arthritis flareup? does it get this bad at times? i have osteo and im bein tested for sed rate ie. rheumatoid etc… should i go too a hospital? it hurts my fingers just too type! i dont know what the hell to do?

You can try going to the ER but that is a crap shoot. You might get a doctor that will help and you might not. It’s worth a shot though.
First thing is to get your body in order. No matter what, you need to get the diet and exercise going. That will help eventually even though it may be painful to start. Also, cut out the soda. I’m not sure what you are drinking but it’s a safe bet that it’s probably a cola. Even diet soda needs to be kept to a reasonable amount.
You also need sleep. See if your doctor will prescribe something to help you out. There are a number of medications out there, so if one doesn’t work have them try another.
If all the tests come back negative and you’re still in pain, go see a pain management doctor.
