  Gout Pain in the Knees  
Throbbing Toes and Gout
Gout is a kind of arthritis caused by too much uric acid in the joints. The uric acid causes joint pain. Perhaps the oldest known type of arthritis, gout or gouty arthritis has been described since Hippocrates in the 5th century B.C. At one time, the term "gout" was used to describe all types of arthritis.
 
Acute gouty arthritis is an attack of a metabolic disease marked by uric acid deposits in the joints. The disorder causes painful arthritis, especially in the joints of the feet and legs.

Eliminate Gout Pain - Naturally and Immediately

Gout has four stages:
1) asymptomatic (without symptoms)
2) acute
3) intercritical
4) chronic
 
In acute (the second stage) gouty arthritis, symptoms develop suddenly and usually involve only one or a few joints. The pain frequently starts during the night and is often described as throbbing, crushing, or excruciating. The joint appears infected with signs of warmth, redness, and tenderness.
 
The gout attacks on joints may subside in several days, but may recur at irregular intervals. Subsequent gout attacks usually have a longer duration. Some people may progress to chronic gouty arthritis, while others may have no further attacks.
 
Who can have a gout attack? 
If you eat a lot of foods that are rich in purines, you may have a gout attack. Some of these foods are salmon, sardines, liver and herring. You may have a  gout attack if you are overweight, drink alcohol or have high cholesterol. Men tend to have gout attacks more often than women do. Some medicines may cause gout attacks, such as certain diuretics (water pills), niacin (a B-complex vitamin), aspirin (taken in low doses), cyclosporine and some drugs used to treat cancer. The risk for gout attacks is greater in men, postmenopausal women, and people who drink alcohol.

Get Rid of Gout for Good

What is a gout attack like?
It may be sudden. It usually starts at night, often in the big toe or foot. The joint becomes red, feels hot and hurts. The joint hurts more when you touch it. Other joints may also be affected.
 
What should I do if I have a gout attack?
The sooner you get treatment, the sooner the pain will go away. Your doctor may prescribe medicine to stop the joint swelling and pain. You should rest in bed. Putting an ice pack and then a hot pad on the joint may ease the pain. Keeping the weight of clothes or bed covers off the joint may also help. With treatment, your gout attack should go away in a few days. You may or not have another gout attack.
 
What if I don't get treatment? 
 If you don't get treatment, a gout attack can last for days or even weeks. If you keep having more gout attacks, more joints will be affected, and the gout attacks will last longer. If you have gout attacks for many years, you may develop tophi (pronounced toe-fee). These are soft tissue swellings caused by uric acid crystals. Tophi usually form on the toes, fingers, hands and elbows. You may also get kidney diseases or kidney stones. Over time, the bone around a joint may be destroyed.
 
What can I do to avoid gout attacks?
Your doctor may prescribe medicines to prevent future gout attacks. These medicines wash the uric acid from your joints, reduce the swelling or keep uric acid from forming. Arthritin, a natural and safe alternative to gout medications, can also prevent gout attacks. If you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol, get treatment and follow a low-salt, low-fat diet. Also stay away from alcohol and foods that are high in purines. Drinking lots of water can help flush uric acid from your body.
