Hi K, 
You might try eliminating beef from your diet. My wife develops similar pain
after rare occasions when she eats beef. 
Best Wishes, 
Ron

Over the last four weeks I have been eating low carb, though not zero, with
a large increase in the amount of meat and fish ingested.   
 
I have managed to lose 7lbs which has to be good.  After following the
various discussions via email on eating zero carbs I decided yesterday to go
as close to that as I could.  Today I can hardly walk because of pain in my
hip and knee joints.
 
Researching various sites it seems that I may have inadvertently created an
excess of uric acid, leading to arthritic gout....?  Can anyone comment.   I
have not found the regime all that difficult and was pleased with the weight
loss, but the discomfort has prevented my doing what I should have been
doing today.
