Anyone Ever Deal With Gout

Went to the doc and good news I don't have gout bad new I cellulitis maybe . I'm taking my meds and the pain has subsided a bit but now I have a pus pocket the size of a soup can lid on my elbow and its oozing . I'm going to see how I'm doing on Monday and decide whether to return to the doc's . I'm not sure how much different this is from gout but it is painful . What really bothers me is I need about 8 hours to finish plumbing my motor and starting it but until I'm sure I'm on the mend it will have to wait , making it to work is more important .
