Anyone Ever Deal With Gout

Think I have it now. Couple months ago had real bad pain on the top of my right foot, couldn't hardly walk. Went to the podiatrist. He didnt think it was gout, gave me a burst of prednisone. Cleared it up in less than 24 hours.
Well now its back, but in the other foot. Big toe, and the joint below it. Hurts like hell, had to call in sick, on my feet all night at work, and I cant even walk around the house.
Tried to get into the doc again, but he doesn't work friday, have to wait till tuesday.
I"m thinking it is gout, what else would move from one foot to the other?
Hurts like heck.

Edit, so i'm walking around the kitchen trying to make myself a sammich, and I realize every time I put my left foot down, my toes aren't even touching the gound. I'm like, what the ... turns out my foot is swelling up like a balloon and it's about 1/2" thicker than my right foot.
