Ira, please tell your doctor what happens, this can be a symptom of gout which is easily treatable.
"In towns where the economy is based on fishing, the cases of gout are much more pronounced. This can be caused by the increase of shellfish in their diets. Shellfish contain a moderate amount of purine, but regular consumption could push your body over the edge and cause a gout attack. Shellfish high in purine include lobster, scallops, clams, and crab. Along with fish being high in purine, a varied diet that contains more than just seafood proteins is key."
I have gout but thus far it is only bothering my finger tips. I am on a med that makes it much more tollerable. I have been told that there are definitely foods which cause an outbreak. Mine, is not one of those. Some people just make too much Creatine and it causes the swelling and pain.gotta have my Shellfish--grew up around the NC ocean and flounder, shrimp, nad scallops are staples!!
