I'm three weeks post treatment. Recovery is painfully slow (literally). To add to the misery, I came down with a gout attack on my left foot the beginning of May. It started in my ankle and moved to the big toe. I had a previous attack 5 years ago but not nearly the severity of this one. I went for a followup with my MO on the 6th and she told me that gout is a side effect of Cisplatin. Nice eh? It's better but still lingering enough to be uncomfortable.

Anyone else have this happen? Other than meds and ibuprofen, any other remedies, solutions to keep this at bay?
