Went to the doc today

She asked if I had ever had gout before.  I said no, with no family history either.  Did a few x-rays, but nothing came up.  Got a steroid shot and a shot of anti-inflammatories, and that made the foot feel better.  She was of the opinion that it's soft tissue damage and not gout, but if it comes back she'll do a uric acid test.

Oh, and I have plantar fasciitis.  Joy.  That could be a contributing factor.

So it's bicycle for me, at least until the foot is healthy enough to start running again.  And thanks to the new Army fitness test that's rolling out in 2020, it'll be running or nothing.  There are no alternative events so far.  So walking or biking for the test isn't really an option.

Ah well.  Onward to the next thing that crops up.
