Hi everyone
Did you know?
Gout is one of the most painful form of arthritis. It occurs when too much uric acid builds up in the body. The buildup of uric acid can lead to
- sharp uric acid crystal deposits in joints, often in the big toe
- deposits of uric acid (called tophi) that look like lumps under the skin
- kidney stones from uric acid crystals in the kidneys
For many, the initial attack occurs in the big toe. Often, it will wake a person from sleep. The toe is very sore, red, warm and swollen.
Gout can cause -
1) pain
2) swelling
3) redness
4) heat
5) stiffness in joints
In addition, it can also affect -
- insteps
- ankles
- heels
- knees
- wrists
- fingers
- elbows
A gout attack can also be brought on by stressful events, alcohol or drugs, or another illness. Early attacks usually get better within 3 to 10 days, even without treatment. The next attack may not occur for months or even years.
