Pass the popcorn bro

>pass the popcorn bro

I hate this place

mind telling me what that is so I can see more?

looks like you already got some in your finger

Gout.

Fat people get it.

I'm scared I'm going to get it, because I've been a fat fuck for the past year or so.

I was told not to worry, but Jared Leto said he got it when he got fat for a film role.

Then again, I guess there are people who are fat for years and don't get it. So who knows.

Yeah, that doesn't just happen in a few minutes.
If I see a ugly red bump on my finger, I go straight to the doctor's instead of waiting for it to turn into a cancerous yellow crater.

You actually can't do much about THAT particular condition. Once you get it, you're fucked (that's an extreme result of the condition though - most people don't develop ulcers from it, and those that do usually are pretty fucked already, with diabetes, kidney failure etc).

Oh, and in terms of HOW it happens - you can just get unlucky as you get older or have kidney problems, but generally it's down to obesity and poor diet.

soooo do you cut it off with a nail clipper or does it just disappear on its own

FPBP

you pop it like a pimple and scrape it off your bones and tissues

...

Do you eat a lot of chicken livers? They prevent it so eat up!

that looks like makeup desu

Nothing really, other than treating the underlying cause (going on fluids, medication) and treating the "wound" - medical honey, pain killers. When the underlying condition improves , the ulcers retreat.

Only if you let me suck on your finger

Also, it's hard to just "cut it off", because it's usually connected to other ulcers under the skin and tissue.

You bite on it like a gusher

Well Jared Leto was downing buckets of melted hagan daas

I didn't know gout could cause ulcers like that. My dad generally had to avoid certain foods because he gets gout easily. It just causes his big toe to hurt, though without any open wounds. Apparently it hurts pretty bad though.

I want to bite it off and suck everything out of it.

Yes and no. Fat people are more likely to get gout just by shitty diet, but the over-riding factor in my experience is genetic pre-disposition. About 1-2 percent of the population actually suffer from it, and if it were true that being fat alone were such a big predictor, then many more Americans would be gouty, but they really aren't, they just have other problems/comorbidities.

What's really at issue with gout as-such is a genetic inferiority whereby sufferers and certain human bodies are less able to efficiently expunge uric acid, most commonly by pissing it out. When left unchecked the shit builds up in the sufferer's body until it forms crystals which concentrate in the joints, leading to EXTREMELY PAINFUL INFLAMMATION. My big attack put me on crutches for two months and I was unable to walk straight for about as long. The pain was so bad when it hit that I could barely get to sleep and went to urgent care.

The common medication is allopurinol, which is one of the 500 or so essential medicines in the world medicine reference (the problem is just common and societally problematic enough to warrant this one medicine). Allopurinol makes the inferior better able to piss out the uric acid, aided by water. I gave up shrimp because of it.

t. thinner genetically inferior guy who gets gout (my alcoholism contributes as well)

Isn't that something that only 18th century noblemen get?

>tfw we had a full 4" hotel pan of chicken liver pate left from a recent even at work, about ~13L
should I go for it lads?

Yes

No

pretty much this, but I've pretty much got a double whammy because I happen to be allergic to Allopurinol, which is apparently an issue that's becoming more common with people who suffer from gout. Uloric had no real effect on me either, and is ridiculously expensive. I'm hoping at some point in the future, an alternative to Allopurinol comes out that I'm not allergic to. I'm basically forced to pound cherry supplements in order to better regulate my uric acid levels. Espom salt baths usually help too at times. I will get an attack one every 2 years or so, sometimes less. The annoying problem is that, even though the attacks go away and the swelling goes down, after about a week to 10 days of terrible pain, it can take a few months for the pain to completely dissipate. Another issue is that many specialists aren't really prepared for it. They were trained to treat the elderly patients with severe arthritis, but more and more young people are being afflicted by this condition.

the rate of gout, both genetically inherited and not, is actually increasing fast as we become more sedentary. Historically, it was known as a royal disease. Monarchs and nobles would normally suffer from the affliction because they just sat around all day eating and consuming vast vats of alcohol. Luckily, I don't have it nearly as bad as that guy in OP's pic. a toe joint of mine will just get inflamed and swollen for awhile. One time I got it in my ankle though, that was probably the worst pain i've ever felt.
