 So I have arthritis & normally have weak joints, but I woke up Wed morning in extreme pain in my right ankle/foot, I have NEVER been in this much pain, I cannot move or stand anyone touching my foot, its red & swollen. Went to ER, nothing broken, & they pretty much booted me out the door & referred me back to my primary doctor with no testing. Gout does run in my family & have been told this can happen months after rny, but its killing me!! waiting till monday to get an appt with my doctor. Any suggestions since we cant have NSAIDS???

 I have never had Gout, so I don't have any advice. Did you suggest it could be gout to the doctors at the hospital? I hate it when medical professionals don't pay attention to us when we say there is something wrong. 

I hope your family doctor can tell you something useful tomorrow.
