Off-Topic Arthritis and Arthritic Pain

[watchnerd]

I am writing because, for several years, I've experienced arthritic pain in the main joint of my right largest toe.

It just hurts sometimes (randonmly) but leopard crawling exacerbates it.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Is it arthritis or latent gout?

I don't have big toe issues, but I can tell the difference when I go off the rails and eat inflammatory stuff.

I notice it mosts in my hands.

Alcohol intake ?

This is a fair question, because they are related. I can’t vouch for the OP, but mine was diagnosed as arthritis via x-ray by my orthopedic surgeon…

And if it is gout then alcohol is definitely a contributing factor, along with high meat consumption…

Nice. Take some DMT and go visit the Elves. Bam ! Single leg barefoot jump-roping in no time.

There was a strength connection podcast a couple years back about microdosing and performance and flexibility. Apparently the devils lettuce and stretching work well together

I was more than 50% serious. Thinking about the current group of guys that have been down range and are getting some help from the psychedelics. Think about it from time to time for myself. Have not been down range, but have had thousands of head impacts.

For sure, it’s just surprising that there is a carryover to physical endeavors as well aside from the mental aspects.

Which is one of those “obvious in hindsight” things

Something else worth looking at: Oxalates.

My doctor called it arthritis.

I'm doin a shot of whiskey every two months, and once a week I have red meat. Pretty clean.

I really don't think that's it - but I didn't do an x-ray.
I'm fairly certain the arthritis is correct.

I was hoping someone would pipe up and say "If you rotate the toe twice a day for just 30 seconds then you should see an improvement over a few months."

But... I'm not hearing that. I'm not surprised, but it was worth a shot...

Dr Shawn baker claims he’s cured many arthritis patients with a carnivore diet. But it’s not an easy route.

I apparently fit into this relationship with arthritis. Flares up when I step out on the diet.
