I just grabbed some CVS brand stuff last week before a round of golf. Worked great though. I took 3 ibuprofen, the cream, a couple Coors Lights, and a few puffs of some hash oil and I was loose as a goose for the whole round!

Bad kidneys run in the family (thankfully, no diabetes), so lately, as I creep on 40, I am running into issues with Gout in the foot I had busted in an accident.
Holy frell. It is the second worst pain I have ever felt. First being passing a kidney stone.

I've had a few kidney stones. Needed surgery for my last one. First few urinations after surgery were like horrific kool-aid coming out. Removal of the stent was surreal.
Gout feels like really bad burning?

Burning when you're not walking, stabbing pain when you are. It gets very sensitive if you have a bad flareup, enough I'd be willing to cut my foot off.

The old, medieval pictures of it get it on point.
It feels like something is chewing/eating the inside of your foot/joint/wherever it is (You can get it in your big toe - most common, heel, ankles, elbows, fingers, even knees). I guess burning is close? But burning on the surface, with the pins/needles of the meat being asleep, and a pulsing toothache in the joint.
Bad flares are so intense that a gentle breeze touching the area is sheer agony.
Walking on it feels like bone-grinding-on-bone due to how swollen the entire area of a flare is.

I got seriously winded playing soccer with my kids today. I'm not awesome, but I've always been able to keep up. One of my oldest is getting some money for college to play on their soccer team, but I've coached her for years. Obviously I'm better and faster, right?
Turns out not so much.
My oldest is kicking my ass in soccer. My middle and youngest are starting to kick my ass in hockey.
I'm old, bros.

You finish your work week and think to yourself.. "Hell yeah, tomorrow's Saturday and I have nothing planned, I'm sleeping in at late as I want" Then....
What's worse?
You're up at 8:45.
What's worse?
But you still still consider that sleeping in...

You know you're getting old when you have a bump of discretionary income to go do some "minor luxury" shopping with. What do you immediately think of? New guns? Nope. H&B? Nope.
You immediately think about that really comfy ass recliner you want for the TV room...

You're upset by that time?
6:30am is a sleeping for me with 2 young kids and its 11:20pm now .. Fuuu
Also back to shaving... If your dad doesn't have a beard, you've got 2 mums. I hope all you shavers had a lovely mothers day.
I'm feeling old, I'm 42 this year and I've noticed I've stopped healing quickly.. Elbows hurt from straining them bloody 4 months ago.. I have a mostly office jib now which doesn't help and I'm finding it really hard to get comfortable with all my injuries..

I'm manlier than half the guys I meet with beards. It's not like it takes much, just don't shave.

You start having to fucking shave your ears. Seriously, fuck this shit. I'm growing more on them than sections of my scalp.
