Gout

"Gout is a common type of arthritis that causes sudden, severe joint pain and swelling, often affecting the big toe or lower limbs. It is caused by high levels of urate in the blood, which can form needle-like crystals around joints, leading to intense inflammation and redness. Common symptoms include extreme tenderness and a lingering discomfort that can vary significantly between individuals. You can receive a formal diagnosis from a healthcare professional and start a clinical consultation for management options directly on Mail My Meds.

Gout is a recurring form of inflammatory arthritis that occurs when sodium urate crystals deposit in and around the joints. This medical condition belongs to a group of metabolic disorders that impact the musculoskeletal system, often resulting in "flares" or attacks of intense physical pain and localised heat in the affected area.

Gout is primarily caused by hyperuricaemia, which is an excess of uric acid in the body that the kidneys cannot filter quickly enough. While many people experience a painful, swollen big toe, symptoms can vary. Some patients may experience issues in the knees, fingers, or wrists, with pain levels ranging from a dull ache to an inability to bear any weight on the limb.

Standard treatments usually involve medications to reduce inflammation or lower urate levels over time. You should seek medical advice immediately if you experience a high temperature, feel shivery, or if the pain is rapidly worsening, as this could indicate an infection.
