Gout | Causes, symptoms, treatments
Is that pain and swelling you’re experiencing just an allergic reaction? A bacterial infection? Or true gout?
It can be hard to tell sometimes. The body can act very similarly to widely different illnesses. In this article, we’ll examine the different symptoms that gout creates, enabling you decide for yourself if you’re likely to have it or not.
Before we continue, it’s worth noting the obvious: seek the opinion of a medical professional to be sure. It’s not worth saving a few dollars to self-diagnose and end up headed in the wrong direction.
- Classic Gout Symptoms
As an arthritic condition, gout mainly causes pain around the joints. Gout specifically can be quite painful due to incredible pressure buildup of uric acid crystals in the affected limbs which were not made to hold any such deposits.
Watch for pain in the extremities. Uric acid crystals caused by gout need slightly colder conditions in order to build up.
The most common we affected joint is the big toe, which is one of the furthest away from the central mass of the body. Oftentimes a gout sufferer will endure extreme tenderness, along with a mix of warmth and painful swelling.
Due to the coolness of the nighttime, pain often starts as one climbs into bed and drifts off to sleep. The pain can be so severe that even mild pressure from a bedsheet can be excruciatingly painful.
Look for redness or purpleish skin around the affected area. The joint may have the appearance of being infected, even though it technically is not.
Gout also shows signs of change as it improves. If you see skin peeling, this is actually a good side that the gout is going away.
- Chronic gout
Some individuals experience the symptoms of gout nearly all the time. Older adults are especially vulnerable to chronic gout, which is often confused with other forms of arthritis because the pain is somewhat lower than acute gout attacks.
Obviously less pain is better, but individuals suffering from gout in any form should seek relief, as options are available.
