Rodrigo Lussich reports severe toe pain as colleagues discuss gout
Intrusos host Rodrigo Lussich described severe pain in a toe during a live TV discussion.
He wondered whether gout, a form of arthritis, could be causing it.
Doctor Guillermo Capuya said gout seemed unlikely based on Lussich’s recent test results, though his uric acid level had not yet been checked.
Colleagues Mariano Iúdica and Mauro Szeta said they had experienced gout and shared their own suggestions.
Gout is linked to uric acid crystals building up in joints, and Capuya described its pain as sometimes extremely severe.
Iúdica advised reducing red meat, while Capuya outlined medicines used to treat gout; these were suggestions shared on air, not a confirmed diagnosis for Lussich.
Lussich still needs his uric acid level checked to help establish whether gout explains his pain.
Rodrigo Lussich said on air that he was suffering intense pain in a toe and wondered whether gout was the cause.
Doctor Guillermo Capuya said Lussich’s recent test results made gout unlikely, but his uric acid level still needed to be checked.
Mariano Iúdica, who said he has gout, shared his experience and offered Lussich advice about treatment and diet.
Journalist Mauro Szeta also said he had suffered from gout and recommended lupines based on his experience.
The discussion took place on the América TV program Intrusos.

What people are saying
At times I step down and see stars
Stay calm, it’s probably not gout
Ham is poison, poison
Gout makes me cry; it’s like having a drill with glass
