 Yoo what kind of shoes do you wear on a daily basis? Sounds like it could be a bunion which is usually caused by narrow shoes

 Literally Walking Store shoes that slip on and off. Couple of years old. Maybe they are worn out. The bottom of my foot was tight and sore the day before.

 That’s 100% why lol

Buy some shoes with a wide toe box with zero drop. Helped my feet so much

 Zero drop is basically barefoot shoes, right?

 It just means your foot isn’t angled up at the heel

 Doc pulled up recent blood tests and was like "Yeah your liver levels are fine. I'm still going with gout. Take this diarrhea pill, and maybe this steroid if the diarrhea doesn't work." Couldn't order an x-ray, because the tech was out. 

I am just staying off it one more day. If my blood doesn't have excess uric acid or creatnine levels, it seems highly unlikely it is gout.
