Because I figured a lot of you fat fuKs would know about gout. (Just
kidding)

I picked this group because after pages and pages of searching for
gout, this was the first Usenet group that I found a post about gout
in. I figure an off topic post would get more comments in an active
group than picking some obscure group.

The shot was cortisone. I did ask the doctor that when she was in the
room. It is the same drug as the podiatrist gives.
