A bout of gout?

For the whole of last week, my right heel/ankle gave me a sharp pain each time I walk. It was a sudden onset. I did not see a doctor and there were quite a few possible reasons. Gout was the top reason offered.

But my pain does not fit the symptoms completely as it was only painful at certain angle. Nor was there any swelling! So I doubt it was gout!

So I became like Quasimodo, hobbling about! No not quite as ugly but hobbled I did! Nor did I develop a hump back!

A reminder from God that we cannot simply rush about doing things 100% all out without adequate rest? So it was enforced slowing down for the week and now I have more or less recovered 80%. Less pain lah as I walk, and able to walk a bit faster, albeit hobbling a bit still.
