not arsed about the pain (winces)..
... just the mechanics of gouts starts. I understand the coating of chrystals in protein, hence swelling.... but, can it be brought on by a twist?

btw: loling @ "you fucking helmet".

Yes.
Or it could be a coincidence. Or it could be something else entirely.

Or I could just be guessing.

Or perhaps I'm channeling zoologist-hotelier Captain Kaol, most qualified man in the universe.

I think your best option is to amputate, probably. Do you own an electric carving knife?

We did have a 'proper' doctor on OT that could have helped you
but he's in prison now so we're not so handy with the medical advice. I would suggest seeking a medical professionals opinion rather than any of us twunts.

He was called Medical Male and he gazzed me. Still no cock, but hey, he was cross that I'd rumbled him...

Do you promise to wear a single paedo-glove?
I am partial to a bit of Gilbert and Sullivan.
(Edmund has no idea what you mean, Mon 22 Feb 2010, 15:12, Reply)

I have a beautiful gun-metal coloured 3/4 length leather paedo glove
I shall wear it
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 22 Feb 2010, 15:13, Reply)

Then it is a date.
Do you mind if I bring one of my wives? Only I'm a bit short of cash at the moment so I can only afford one house, and I have to keep one wife with me at all times so they don't run into each other. I'll rohypnol her when it's cock time, don't worry.
(Edmund has no idea what you mean, Mon 22 Feb 2010, 15:17, Reply)

That's fine.
I must confess, I wear my paedo glove becasue I have a hideously deformed claw-like hand.
Can you help me?

One good manipulation deserves another, I suppose.

Although she never did show up. I imagine she was just busy.
And the waiting room was rather less salubrious than I had expected.

Whilst I agree wholeheartedly with Vipros' earlier comment
I couldn't resist a good, old-fashioned, entirely uninformed 'reckon':

If you've twisted your ankle, it will swell. You've probably stretched or broken some ligaments and the affected area will swell (I'm not sure why this is but I think it's a similar reason to blistering - fluid building up to protect the damaged part). I'd be very surprised if it's actually gout. Either way, go and see a doctor.
(LongJohnBaldry, Mon 22 Feb 2010, 14:42, Reply)

My word, sir!
What ill-informed speculation! Do you have a medical degree, like I do? I thought not. Mine even has my name on it, see there, on the tippex.

This gentleman has clearly DISLOCATED his ankle and therefore I must manipulate it back into place, which IN NO WAY will result in a twisted, Beadle-like claw foot and a prison sentence.
(Edmund has no idea what you mean, Mon 22 Feb 2010, 14:48, Reply)

And I suppose you'll manipulate it back into place using your harrier jump-jet
once you've got it out of its hangar at the South Pole?

You're too late, sunshine. I've already gazzed him a collage made entirely from pictures of my own cock.
(LongJohnBaldry, Mon 22 Feb 2010, 14:50, Reply)

Don't be absurd, everyone knows you don't get harrier jump jets in the South Pole,
they only live in the Northern hemisphere.

Besides, the word is MANipulate, which makes it quite obvious that you need to use your weighty, impressive MANpenis to club it back into shape.
(Edmund has no idea what you mean, Mon 22 Feb 2010, 15:04, Reply)

Then that's what I'll do.
And when I'm finished with the patient, I shall club you across the face with my weighty and terrifying manpenis. En garde!

You know about the aspatimine/fizzy drink connection I suppose?
Doesn't sound like gout to me.

Trust me, I'm a doctor.
