What is Gout ❓ Symptoms and Causes‼ Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints. Uric acid is a byproduct of the breakdown of purines, which are substances found in certain foods and naturally occurring in the body. When the body produces too much uric acid or is unable to excrete it efficiently, crystals can form and deposit in the joints, leading to inflammation and pain. #healthapta #gout #arthritis #UricAcid #symptoms #causes #Joint

Gout is a common and complex form of arthritis that can affect anyone. It’s characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, redness and tenderness in one or more joints, most often in the big toe. An attack of gout can occur suddenly, often waking you up in the middle of the night with the sensation that your big toe is on fire. The affected joint is hot, swollen and so tender that even the weight of the bedsheet on it may seem intolerable. #symptomsofgout #uricacid #rheumatologist #r
