That's shit luck man.
I've gone through with a trip with a leg cast and a stinking summer cold, in the past.
So, it would take a lot to keep me away, especially at the eleventh hour.

I guess it depends on how mobile you are with whatever pain relief works for you????
Have you tried copious quantities of weed???
I doubt it would help much with Gout, but you might not care.

I shall also been in town come Friday afternoon.

I was walking through the red light district in AMs when the building work was going on stepped on a brick and twisted my foot and rupture a vein in the side of my foot.Spent the last day of my trip resting my foot on the bed and got a taxi to the port for stenaline costing 100 euro.

Rest your leg and get well AMsterdam will still be there after.

Sciatica? Sounds like the perfect excuse to smoke ALL the weed :-)
Get well soon.

PS the OH suffers from gout (not as bad as yours) and finds drinking loads of water helps to keep it under control,

Couldn't you claim that on travel insurance? I got a taxi fare paid once when the recommended train failed to show up and there wasn't time to wait or get a bus.

I find allopurinol to be the best. Lacking that I have taken an ibuprofin for the pain with mixed success.

I tend to control the amount of steak, red wine and mushrooms I eat and I would no longer combine an excess of those together. I can sense the difference the next day. If I do 2 or more days in succession (of excess) I usually get an attack.

Drinking lots of water helps flush the uric crystals.

Regards, Roland

The Disease of Kings! (and Roland)
Flares can be brought on by binging on red wine, cheese and meat.
Eating like a peasant, or a rabbit, will spare you!
Allopurinol is best as a maintenance medicine,
but innefective during a flare.
Indomethecin has the longest track record of success during attacks, but any anti-inflamatory
(Ibuprofin, diclofenac, prednisone) will do.
I wouldn't pass on a trip to Amsterdam for anything less than a case of Ebola.
I'm sure Max would hang me upside-down and give me something to take my mind off the gout!

I didn't really think at the time about a claim or anything just wanted to make it home and not be in hospital in a different place.Also it didn't mess up getting the boat home.I probably would have won a claim about the accident as not my fault.
