Morning
my toe has been hurting all night. Haven't damaged it. Not sure what this could be a portent of, you know, like Shakespear "by the pricking of my thumbs."

By the hurting of my toe
Off to Lidl I must go.

Nop. Not exactly The Bard

If it's your big toe then it's gout, if it's one of the others it's nowt

I did think gout
but it's more likely my vitamin d defficiency kicking off - I've not been taking my tablets the last couple of days.

I worked on a clinical trial comparing gout treatments for several years, true story.
My educated guess [albeit without access to serum urate level data, or patient history - apart from regular bragging about overindulgence on here, which is anecdotal but persuasive]: it's fucking gout.
