Gout is a form of arthritis that can cause great suffering for those affected and significantly complicate everyday life. Many people do not recognize it as a serious disease, but for those who suffer from it, it becomes a real hell.
What is gout?
Gout occurs when the concentration of uric acid in the blood increases. The liver cannot process this acid quickly enough, so it accumulates and crystallizes in the joints. The first metatarsophalangeal joint, i.e., the big toe joint, is most often affected, but it can also occur in other joints in the body.
Symptoms of gout
The most common symptoms of gout include:
- Redness around the joints
- Unexpected occurrences of sudden severe pain
- Sensitivity to cold or heat
Gout is a chronic condition that is usually treated symptomatically, that is, by suppressing its manifestations with painkillers. However, many people do not want to rely on drugs such as aspirin or ibuprofen, because these medications can have side effects.
