About
A form of inflammatory arthritis caused by excess uric acid crystals depositing in joints, most commonly the big toe. Causes sudden, severe pain and swelling.
What it feels like
Sudden severe pain in a joint — most often the big toe
Intense swelling, redness, and warmth over the joint
Joint so tender that even bedsheets cause pain
Limited range of motion in the affected joint
Lingering discomfort after the worst pain subsides
When to get help
See a doctor during your first gout attack for confirmation and pain management. See a doctor if attacks are frequent (more than 2 per year), involve multiple joints, or if you develop firm lumps (tophi) under the skin.
