I have really bad gout. I don't even eat seafood & don't really drink much. I've had flare ups on both hands, both elbows, both knees, both feet.
I've had it on both feet at one time but nothing is worse as gout on your knee, largest joint in all the extremeties. I can't keep it straight or bend it. My back, right leg, and back is sore from simply hobbling to the bathroom. Even when I'm laying down on my bed I'm in discomfort. But I've experienced it on my knee before...but not during Christmas!
