Gout Symptoms
In this article we look
at the symptoms of gout.
...
... In the
initial stages of gout there are no symptoms whatsoever, so there is no
way to tell that the crystals are building up and lodging themselves in
the sufferers joints. The first symptoms appear when the attack starts.
The most
common symptom of a gout attack s, excruciating pain in the joints,
normally in the big toe and various other movable joints in the body.
The joints
then become inflamed and redness appears around them. The surrounding
skin of the affected joint feels hot when touched. The ball of the foot
also swells up and starts aching, this pain is also felt in the arch of
the foot. The gout attack thens spreads to the ankle, which also
becomes inflamed and starts to ache.
The gout
attack eventually spreads to various joints in the body, the fingers,
knuckles, elbows, knees, wrists and all similar joints are affected. As
a result they all become swollen and the sufferer may feel many sharp
and sudden pains throughout his or her body.
After the
first attack it is very likely that a person will suffer another gout
attack in the coming months and in some cases years, because gout is a
recurring condition. However if a person suffers from chronic gout the
attacks occur consistently one after another.
When a
doctor is trying to find out if someone has gout they will look for
three symptoms, pain inflammation and swelling. Swelling is actually a
better indication of gout than the other too because they are
inconclusive, pain and inflammation accompany many different conditions.
Another
gout symptom is discoloration of the skin, the skin surrounding the
joints of a gout sufferer normally turns a shade of purple. Skin
discoloration plus pain and swelling is usually a good indication of a
gout attack, however if you notice any of these symptoms it's a good
idea to visit your doctor immediately, because if gout is not treated
quickly medication may become ineffective.
