5 Key Warning Signs of Gout You Shouldn’t Ignore

Gout, or hyperuricemia, is an inflammatory arthritis that often causes intense pain, especially in men over 50. It occurs when excess uric acid crystallizes in your joints, most commonly the big toe, leading to sudden, severe pain. Five key signs to watch for include: intense pain in the big toe, inflamed and swollen joints, recurring fever, itchy or flaking skin, and joint deformity or reduced mobility. Early recognition and seeking medical care can prevent long-term damage.
