Small crystals grow inside and around the joints in gout, a kind of arthritis. It produces intense pain and sudden swelling. Gout affects between one and two persons in every 100 people in the United Kingdom. Men over 30 and women after menopause are the most commonly affected. Gout is more frequent in males than it is in women. Gout is a painful and debilitating condition, but there are therapies that can help reduce symptoms and prevent repeat outbreaks.<\/p>\n

Read on to find out the symptoms of this condition, and if the pain you are experiencing is gout.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Severe Joint Pain<\/h2>\n

Gout is classified as “arthritis,” which refers to a wide variety of joint illnesses and discomfort. Some types of arthritis cause inflammation in the joints, while others do not. Gout is a kind of inflammatory arthritis that affects many people. It’s caused by uric acid crystals.<\/p>\n

Gout affects one or more joints, causing discomfort and edema. The big toe is usually affected. Other joints where it can be present include the knee, ankle, foot, hand, wrist, and elbow. Inflammation, gout, or the onset or flare-up of a chronic joint condition are the most common causes of acute pain in numerous joints. Osteoarthritis, inflammatory disorders (such as rheumatoid arthritis), or juvenile idiopathic arthritis are the most common causes of chronic pain in several joints.<\/p>\n

2. Tenderness in Joints<\/h2>\n

Joint pain can be caused by a variety of conditions. Various factors cause different characteristics, treatments, and results. The majority of joint pain sources are innocuous and resolve without causing long-term issues. However, certain causes of joint pain need long-term therapy and result in long-term joint disorders. When experiencing tenderness caused by gout, even the lightest touch on an affected area causes sharp pain.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. Swollen Joints<\/h2>\n

Swollen joints occur when the fluid in the tissues around the joints increases. Different forms of arthritis, infections, and traumas cause joint swelling. Gouty arthritis is characterized by significant joint pain, edema, warmth, and redness, particularly in the big toe (about 50 percent of cases). Gout creates a painful, swollen joint that can be so painful that the weight of bed sheets might be uncomfortable. When gout develops, it normally affects just one joint, although it can sometimes affect many joints.<\/p>\n

Uric acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, crystallizes in the joints, producing inflammation and discomfort. The crystals may also deposit in other places, forming nodules under the skin or kidney stones. Swollen joints are not all treated the same way. Swollen joint treatment varies depending on the cause or diagnosis.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. Tophi<\/h2>\n

Healthline<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Untreated gout can lead to tophi, or urate crystal deposits under the skin. Gout episodes can cause these hard nodules to become painful and inflamed. Tophi may create deformities and severe discomfort in joints, impair movement, and finally ruin your joints completely. The tophi may also erode your skin and discharge a white chalky material.<\/p>\n

Gout comes in four phases, the most severe of which is tophaceous gout. It usually affects those who have chronic, untreated gout, but it can also affect people who have had a heart transplant. When uric acid crystals build masses of white growths surrounding the joints and tissues affected by gout, tophaceous gout develops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
