About Gout
Gout is a form of arthritis that causes sudden, intense pain, redness and swelling in a joint, most often the big toe.
Causes and Risk Factors
High uric acid levels in the blood, which form crystals in the joint. Alcohol, red meat, shellfish, sugary drinks, dehydration and some medicines can trigger attacks, and holiday eating and drinking is a common cause.
