Kidney Stones [ once] was about to be operated on, but pissed it out just before surgery
Gout-
Back
Intercostal
Gout medications have improved over the years
Prednesilone is a BIG pain relief for me
Ive done the intercostal 3 times playing cricket
As gazzagroundedmagoo has posted, the simple things like coughing laughing farting can cause grief
Gaz Ive mildly strained that muscle many times as well
What works for me for minor strains is to ice up the area ASAP
The other thing that might help is to place pillows either side of your body in bed to reduce side movements during the night
I actually put heavy books on the pillows for rigidity
The most important thing you can do NOW
Do not read any of Lockys or LaughingMcqueens posts in best jokes ...you must avoid laughing
Eeeek! I've heard that is as close to child birth as a bloke would feel.
Must be a spin out hearing it ting into the bowl.
According to my health records some level of something I have suggests I should have severe gout, my doctor couldn't believe how active I am, I don't even notice any discomfort but he put me on tablets anyway.
