Tendonitis and Gout

Does anyone know if there is any relationship between the occurrence
or cause of tendonitis and those for gout?
In the last few years I have had the growing symptoms of gout. My GP
picked up on this straight away - when I got round to seeing him -
and have been on 300mg of Allo for the past 6 weeks. However, about
the same time the gout was making itself felt I developed painful
inflammations in my both Achilles' tendons. These made me look an
arthritic old rooster walking on sharp stones when I get out of bed
in the morning or if I sit still for more than an hour or so.
I noticed that the tendonitis seemed to come and go pretty much in
sync with a gout attack and wondered if the 2 were related in some
way.
All the best,
Dan.

    Hi Michael,
    Evidence for the gout and tendonitis tying in together is only from
    my personal experience, the 2 seem to occur at the same time. As for
    it being tendonitis, I have swellings in both Achilles tendons from
    1" to 2" above my heals. These are painful to squeeze
    `so stop
    squeezing them!' and make putting any strain in my Achilles
    tendons
    initially moderately painful until they stretch out. When asked my GP
    said it was tendoitis.
    All the best,
    Dan.

    Thanks for the responses,
    So if there is some relationship between gout and - some forms of -
    tendonitis. Will the uric acid reducing Allo treatment also have a
    beneficial effect on the tendonitis?
    Thanks and regards,
    Dan.

    Is it the same uric acid in both cases or is there different acid
    related to tendoitis?
    Thanks and regards,
    Dan.

    I not sure if there is one a doctor might know I do know that I have
    severe tendonitis in my left tendon and minor tendonitis of wrist and
    proably rest of the joints due to my kidneys. ( I loss muscle mass
    and they think the the tendons ended up trying to pull the weight).
    As for my gout its started in my big toes and now has seem to spread
    to the whole damn foot. But my ankle will get (at least once a day)
    so sentive that nothing can be on it just like my gout attacks.

    I'm not sure but I don't think it matters if you look at the issue
    in a macro sense. There are other types of acids but I'm guessing
    they will all create a problem when they are concentrated in the joint.
    Another possibility here is that instead of acid being shunted into the
    the joints, maybe it's always there but when the body and blood are
    being subjected to an overly acidic diet/lifestyle, alkaline substances are
    being drawn out of the joints to balance the blood. Hence creating an
    overly acidic condition in the joints.

    OPC,
    It seems you are quite focused on the overly/underly acidic state of
    the body. This seems to be a really challenging way to tackle the
    problem at hand. I can't imagine what your diet consists of but it
    doesn't sound like fun! :)

    Arnold, I probably read it somewhere and just didn't remember. Can you
    get crystals in your brain? Just kidding!

    I'm waiting for Arnold to say...
    "Odd that you mention it...."

    Joe, thanks your concern about my diet!
    But I assure you there are many things in life more important than food...
    Even so, my diet is quite robust

    Information for you to evaluate , properly and share this
    information with your people. Particular attention should be made to
    the audio on the web sites mentioned .
    we are not being told useful health information largely because of
    ignorance, apathy or vested interest from certain drug companies ---
    your doctor in the main is told what to prescribe by these people,
    very few doctors have the time to do any research- did you know
    that?.
    http://www.edgarcayce.org/health/database/chdata/index.html
    Helpful arthritis and joint care information on prevention and
    alleviation
    For research purposes only I do not sell anything for the poor old
    cynics amongst you,
    This information is derived from the Edgar cayce research readings
    and from using it at the Edgar cayce clinics, from numerous reports
    from thousands of people who have tried this and from numerous
    Drs,chiropractors, osteopaths, who has been using this kind of
    information with considerable success treating thousands of people
    for over 50 yrs.IN fact a lot of this information was used even
    ancient Egypt
    The Orion project is an information sharing resource funded
    privately, sells nothing and is there for the sharing of information
    which is of huge value. This is totally different from being
    prescribed just drugs where there are huge profits to be made often
    at the expense of the patients well being.
    As you can imagine a good diet is essential in maintaining good
    health, emphasis was on fresh vegetables often eaten raw or grated
    daily to gain the maximum amount of goodness into you and fruits
    whole grains and light proteins. Needless to say ,regular exercise,
    massage preferably daily, water intake 2 litres/day and a twice a
    year detox should already be a part of your health protection.
    Before trying this CHECK YOU DO NOT HAVE ALLERGYS TO NUTS
    Peanut oil was highly recommended and many were told to almost bathe
    in it, to be given externally, work into all the joints, the neck,
    across the clavicle, the spine, over the stomach, in fact just about
    every where. This is to be done once a week or more. Numerous reports
    also followed over its use. One chap says that he has found it not
    only lubricates but also heals and had he had this information he
    would have spared much misery. Another lady says that with constant
    use of the oil she can keep her wedding ring other wise her finger
    enlarges. Another report from a doctor says that with his arthritic
    patient, first results were an increase in vitality and elimination.
    Castor oil is also used on any arthritic, rheumatic, or muscular and
    joint pain as unction. Basically an infra red lamp is placed 12-18
    inches from the part to be massaged. Apply the castor oil on the
    painful area and let the lamp warm it and this will help the oil to
    penetrate the skin, this done for about 5-10 mins. Then keep rubbing
    with the fingers and hand until the oil is worked in. Keep putting
    more oil on and massaging continued for 10-60 mins. Massage was also
    very helpful, to be given usually after another treatment such as an
    Epsom salt bath prepared by dissolving at least 5lbs in a typical
    bath and immersing for a period of time. Oils used for the massage
    were equal parts of olive oil and peanut oil use the oils freely and
    as much as the body could absorb. Also done was Improvements to the
    elimination process within the body, the most frequent methods were
    castor oil packs, enemas, colonics, and eno salts. Elimination is the
    ability of the body to get rid of toxins. A very important and
    Essential ability in helping just about all conditions.
    The research said those people, which undertook a peanut oil
    massage/rub each week need never fear arthritis. Apparently cold
    pressed oils are best not chemically extracted. Where there is
    crippling of the joints of the hands, pain of arthritis or
    inflammation of the tendons considerable relief can be found by using
    an Epsom salt bath and massage. Use a large quantity of the salts
    about 1 pound in the water though, not just a spoon full. Soak the
    affected area for about 5 mins and then massage the affected area
    under water, rotate the joints and soak again for another 5-10 mins.
    A lady who could not even close her hand, reported after two weeks of
    the salts and massage she could then close them-amazing.
    Another lady reports that soaking in Epsom salts then applying the
    oil gave her the best results. Pain seems to ease immediately and use
    of the effected parts returns far more rapidly than ever before. The
    oil had also relieved paralysis, which some poor man had on his left
    side.
    Another lady in her 80s reports says the oil is the only thing, which
    keeps her arthritic knees. Have a listen to the audio at this web
    site http://www.worldwithoutcancer.org.uk/index.html for more info on
