What is Gout?

Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, redness, and tenderness, often affecting the joint at the base of the big toe. It’s caused by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood, which can form sharp, needle-like urate crystals in a joint.

• Intense joint pain, often starting in the big toe
• Persistent discomfort after the most severe pain subsides

• Limited range of motion
