It most commonly affects the joint at the base of the big toe but can also impact other joints such as the ankles, knees, elbows, wrists, and fingers. Gout occurs due to an accumulation of uric acid in the blood, which can form sharp crystals in the joints, leading to intense pain and inflammation.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_section et_pb_section_2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_section_regular et_block_section\" >\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_2_5 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_image et_pb_image_0 et_animated et-waypoint\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/rheumatology.kpmckajang.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/senior-aged-caucasian-man-is-having-backache-scaled-1-scaled.webp\" alt=\"\" title=\"senior-aged-caucasian-man-is-having-backache-scaled (1)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rheumatology.kpmckajang.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/senior-aged-caucasian-man-is-having-backache-scaled-1-scaled.webp 1707w, https:\/\/rheumatology.kpmckajang.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/senior-aged-caucasian-man-is-having-backache-scaled-1-1280x1920.webp 1280w, https:\/\/rheumatology.kpmckajang.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/senior-aged-caucasian-man-is-having-backache-scaled-1-980x1470.webp 980w, https:\/\/rheumatology.kpmckajang.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/senior-aged-caucasian-man-is-having-backache-scaled-1-480x720.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1707px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-117\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_3_5 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_accordion et_pb_accordion_0\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_accordion_item_0  et_pb_toggle_open\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Symptoms: The primary symptoms of gout include:<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content clearfix\"><ul>\n<li>Sudden, severe joint pain, especially at night or early morning.<\/li>\n<li>Swelling and tenderness in the affected joint.<\/li>\n<li>Redness and warmth over the inflamed joint.<\/li>\n<li>Limited range of motion in the affected joint.<\/li>\n<li>Lingering discomfort in the joint after the most intense pain subsides.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_accordion_item_1  et_pb_toggle_close\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Who Gets Gout?
