Understanding Gout
A sudden, intensely painful, red and swollen joint, classically the big toe, is typical of gout, a form of arthritis.
Common Triggers
High uric acid in the blood forms crystals in the joint. Alcohol, red meat, shellfish, sugary drinks, dehydration and some medicines can trigger attacks, and holiday eating and drinking is a frequent cause.
Signs of Gout to Look for
- Sudden intense joint pain, frequently at night
- Shiny red skin over the joint
- Pain when anything touches the joint
- Swelling and warmth
Care and Treatment for Gout
Your doctor goes through your history, suggests painkillers and flare treatment, and renews regular gout tablets when suitable; a hot, swollen joint with fever must be examined in person. Typical choices are anti-inflammatory pain relief, colchicine or short steroid courses, and long-term uric-acid-lowering medicine for repeat gout.
- Rest and raise the joint
- Avoid alcohol and rich food during a flare
- Apply a cold pack wrapped in a cloth
- Drink plenty of water
