Tag Archives: Gout

Gout is a prevalent and painful form of inflammatory arthritis that causes intense inflammation in the joints. It typically presents with sudden, severe episodes of swelling, redness, and sharp pain—most often in the big toe. Unlike many other types of arthritis, which tend to develop gradually, gout attacks occur abruptly, often during the night. While the big toe is the most frequently affected area, gout can also impact other joints including the ankles, knees, wrists, elbows, and fingers.
