In episode 3 of The Gout Show, we meet Oso Wallman, who gets candid about how painful and disruptive gout has been to his daily life. Oso is a professional chef who has to be on his feet all day at work. Gout pain has been so severe for Oso that he says few people can really understand what it’s like to have pain that halts your life to a standstill. Over the years, Oso has learned how to better manage and cope with his gout, including being aware of triggers that can bring on flares, like stress. He also shares advice about how to educate other people in your life about what it’s like to live with a chronic condition like gout.
