Cyst
I have had gout in the wrist which has eaten into the bone leaving a hole,how do I have this repaired as I was told by a Doctor before that if I break my wrist it will be a bad break.
Healthy Bones
Dear Brian
Bone is a living tissue and keeps on replacing itself until you die. He may have meant that the bones are a bit porous and I suggest you have it checked out by a specialist physician (rheumatologist) who can do the necessary tests and put you on the correct medication if you have chronic gout.
