Subject: RE: Any Triathletes Out There Suffer From Gout?I am getting back to tri this season after about ten years away. I had stopped running due to ankle pain. I thought it was arthritis due to multiple injuries when I was younger. Last year, I started allopurinol after getting a huge tophus on my elbow and some decreased kidney function. Almost overnight: VOILA! my ankle pain went away. In hindsite, the joint was filled with crystals.
I started running again and I can’t wait to start racing.
So to answer the question, my accommodation is Allopurinol. If you aren’t taking it, I would suggest getting to the doctor ASAP and getting a prescription |
