Symptoms of Gout
- Sudden intense joint pain, often at night
- Shiny red skin over the joint
- Swelling and warmth
- Fever during a flare
Common Triggers
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.
Understanding Gout
A sudden, intensely painful, red and swollen joint, classically the big toe, is typical of gout, a form of arthritis.
How Gout Is Treated
The doctor can review your history, advise on painkillers and flare treatment and renew existing gout medicines where appropriate. A hot swollen joint with fever needs in-person assessment. Typical choices are anti-inflammatory pain relief, colchicine or short steroid courses, and long-term uric-acid-lowering medicine for repeat gout.
