I take a 81MG aspirin every day and I have done it for several years. On Sunday I had a stinging pain in my foot that began as a pulse and a few seconds later it felt like a needle was twisting in my foot. The pain lasts for a few seconds and then recedes until the next time. It still hurts, but not as much and not as often as it did Sunday. I was going to see the doc if it does not go away completely, but I wonder if the aspirin has something to do with it?
Ok I tried it, the ginger helped a lot. I had been drinking a lot of fizzy drinks, Coke, Canada Dry etc. since I moved to the relative warmth of Colombia and particularly when I was in Panama. For some reason my appetite for sugar dropped enormously on the ginger and I've reduced sugary drinks without effort. I guess that helped with any gout also. Perhaps a lot of real ginger affected my appetite for ginger ale but either way, it worked well for me. My knees feel great, not very young but a major improvement.
I take ginger daily. I peel it and juice it in my Omega. ( I also juice greens, beets, and carrots...all separately...no fruit). I'll add between 1/8 and 1/4 tablespoon of the ginger juice to my coffee or with a glass of diet Canada Dry. Only once a day. Pure ginger juice if VERY potent. PS. I keep the beets and carrots separate from the greens because of their sugar content. I drink those in the morning pre workout.
