PaidsParticipant
Trev/Zip,
Thanks for the replies. Initially I had a vertical fracture on the top of my tibia which was diagnosed by my Orthopedic Surgeon via MRI. Weightlifting accident. After it healed, I still had problems. He said he believed I had “gouty arthritis” in the knee. After doing another MRI and X-ray. I'm in the midst of a move cross country so I can't get into a rheumatologist here, but will see one in my new location.
I was simply taking the Vitamin C as a stop gap measure until I can get on allipurinol.
Yeah, never had the classic gout problem — big toe throbbing. Only swelling in the left knee and decrease in the range of motion. And, what I believe is very slight tophi like nodules on the outside of my ear lobes.
I'm not sure if it's the “C” or all the water I'm drinking but I feel as though my uric acid levels are dropping. Only by greater range of motion in the knee and less clicks and pain.
Again, thanks, and I will keep everyone updated.
