Bloody painful isn't it! I got my first attach in my mid twenties and thought I'd broken my foot...and that was the most mild attack I've ever had. I mostly get it in my big toe but have also had attacks in my cuboid which is just insane.

Have you tried introducing any of the old wives remedies?

I'm unable to take may medications as they interact with tablets I have to take for a blood disorder. I've touch wood been able to manage with lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, tart cherry juice and Epsom salt bathes.
