Question 1

Accepted Answer

Black is not normal: Gout shouldn't cause black discoloration.  It suggests some form of bleeding issue, whether it be related to bruising or an abnormality with the blood vessels in that area.  Or, it can suggest death of tissue in that area, so called necrosis.  Alternatively, if you are using a silver based dressing in that location it could discolor your skin.  Nonetheless a healthcare provided should assess this!

4 a year had l leg/foot pain numbness/cramps up bad feels like went 2 er said interm coagulation . never stopped / in bed for10 y worse when.on myfeet?

Accepted Answer

The question is : A little unclear. But, if you have numbness I would look to have an Emg/NCV performed to see if there is any radiculopathy from the lower back. Regarding the cramps, I would make sure there is no circulatory disturbance and would start with arterial dopplers and consider a magnesium supplement. Keep in mind these are things to consider after a medical exam by a doctor,

Question 10

my diabetic obese friend has foot pain and some numbness. is it ok for him to use a menthol gel like biofreeze (2-4%) menthol, on his feet ?

Accepted Answer

Control risk factors: Menthol is ok but it is only treating the symptom.  Your friend needs to treat the cause of the foot pain/numbness which in a diabetic is a signal for neuropathy.  He needs to control his blood sugar level, blood pressure (circulation) and cholesterol levels.  Good luck.
