What is Gout?
Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, and redness in the joints—most commonly the big toe. It occurs when uric acid builds up in the blood, forming crystals in the joints.
Common Symptoms of Gout:
- Intense Joint Pain: Usually affecting the big toe, but can also occur in the ankles, knees, elbows, wrists, and fingers.
- Swelling and Redness: The affected joint becomes swollen, warm, and tender.
- Limited Mobility: Stiffness and discomfort during movement.
- Sudden Onset: Symptoms often appear suddenly, frequently at night.
