Went for a walk

About a year ago I had to stop running abruptly because of a gout diagnosis

That's under control now; 3km today, will try see if there's a 5km path on the same trail 

Note to self - followed the canal to the tree trunk, then turned right and right again; will keep going tomorrow to make it 5km

Were you recommended to go for physical therapy?
I mean, about the gout

3km? Wow
What’s your highest ran distance?

I ran almost 20km two years ago :( hope I'll be able to do it again someday

Damn that’s a lot
You will🤍

I apologize if the physical therapy question i asked was too personal btw

Unfortunately there is no therapy, that's the bummer. You basically go from painkillers to medication and wait it out, but there's no cure, only management

Diet does a lot

Pain was never chronic thankfully, I suffered during flare-ups but that was it

The goal was reducing the likelihood of them, because pain was so bad I couldn't sleep and I can't be a liability being a dad - so took path of lowest risk

Yeahh i know about the part where there’s no cure

But physical therapy can assist with the management and to at least, rehabilitate to the nearest possible max function 

If you don’t mind.. How’s the pain now that it’s been a year tho
(I’m a PT, incase you’re wondering why I’m so curious :)
