I've also done the gout thing. Crippling pain is right. Oddly with me it didn't happen in the big toe, which is the popular place to get it. Mine happens in other joints within the foot and in the ankle.
I also had my knee scoped last year, thinking I had a torn meniscus. Turns out it was a gout-like thing with crystals forming in the knee joint. Not really painful, but caused a lot of swelling.
