Gout is a type of arthritis that occurs when there is a buildup of uric acid in the body, leading to the formation of crystals in the joints. This can cause sudden and severe pain, swelling, redness, and stiffness in the affected joints, most commonly in the big toe. Gout attacks can be triggered by certain foods, alcohol, and other factors. It is important to manage gout through lifestyle changes, medication, and dietary modifications to prevent future flare-ups. #ARTHRITIS #KNEEPAIN #ORTHOPEDICS #KNEEEXPERT #SYNOVIAL FLUID #UNITYHOSPITAL
