This started on Saturday/Sunday.
My left big toe started to hurt and has remained very painful.
I saw a GP yesterday who suggested gout, took a blood test (no results yet) and prescribed colchicine.
The tablets have made no difference, and I’ve noticed this evening that the other toes have slightly swollen up (they feel swollen rather than look particularly swollen as all my toes are fat).
I’m otherwise well.
I’m at a loss as to what this is.
I haven’t injured my toes at all.
The only thing (and I’m only adding this in case it’s relevant) is that I had a Moderna booster 8 days ago (others might have heard of similar happening?).
I’m ringing the gp back in the morning, and I’m hoping she’ll prescribe something that’ll take the pain away as I’m not sleeping well.
Any ideas?
