And that makes perfect sense to me. Uric acid isn't isolated to only one
joint... it is found systemically so you probably do feel and recognize
(based on previous flare ups) an attack building up as the uric acid
crystals build up in the joints even though it is still at low level
(subclinical) presentation yet.

Apropos of pain issues, I've just noticed an "Aches And Pains Index"
on my local Weather Channel station (Chicago). This is something
new...what's the deal with it, I wonder...???

I know it's popular belief that certain kinds of weather can
supposedly exacerbate certain pains, but is this scientifically
verifiable...???

Anyone over sixty can predict impending inclement weather more
accurately than the finast barometric instruments... you want
scientific... prior to every launch NASA phones me for concurrence.
Someday my ankles will be on permanent display in the Smithsonian.
