Gout sounds like a horrifically painful condition brought

on by affluence that was considered fashionable

Though we know now what causes gout, a buildup in uric acid

It was a malady met with a lot of confusion

Gout is an arthritic condition characterized by the Mayo

Clinic as sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, redness,

and tenderness in the joints, often the joint

affected by gout lovingly describe the condition

In the late 17th century, physician Thomas Sydenham

wrote that gout was so exquisitely painful as to not

endure the weight of the clothes nor the shaking of the room

Translated roughly to today's nomenclature,

wear clothes or be in a room with people quickly pacing

Take your impatient pacing elsewhere, Thomas.

is not a favorable condition for a bone to be in.

In the 19th century, Reverend Sydney Smith

described his gout flareups as equal to walking on eyeballs.

So, yeah, good luck on seeing that pleasant picture

Much like Robin Hood, gout was thought to specifically attack

From the earliest description from Hippocrates

himself, gout was linked with indulgent foods

and heavy alcohol consumption, a diet only the wealthy

Due to this fact, gout started getting a reputation

a bit of a humble brag, depicted as desirable

Poor people were priced out of the fun time gout provided.

In an 1900 comment from the London Times, a writer claimed,

the common cold is well named, but the gout seems instantly

meaning gout sufferers were the original influencers

Medical treatments for gout ran the gambit as far

like a lot of throwing darts at the wall and seeing what stuck.

Physician Lorenz Fries described this on-the-level gout

treatment recipe as, roast a fat, old goose and stuff

with chopped kittens, lard, incense, wax,

table centerpiece and apply to those achy, gouty joints,

And just to state the obvious to everyone,

were the Byzantine's since today colchicine is

used to treat gout, which is made from the autumn crocus

You know what they say about a man's foot size?

Well, they took that extremely seriously from the 16th

Many during this time thought of gout as an aphrodisiac

because nobody ever understood what a woman wanted.

In 1588, essayist Michel de Montaigne declared,

when a man's leg were in a weakened state,

the genital parts are fuller, better nourished,

Gout of the junk is not a thing so no need to add that

In 1693, a Dutch writer, with a very loose idea

of how a human body works, said gout was great

because it allowed men to rest their reproductive organs

due to the whole in so much pain I can't walk
