Where does gout usually hurt?

Gout is usually pain in the big toe joint, ankle joint, knee joint, other lower limb joints, etc. 1. The big toe joint is one of the parts where gout often occurs. Urate crystals are easy to deposit in this part, which can cause redness and pain in the big toe when it attacks, seriously affecting activities. 2. The ankle joint may also be affected by gout. The accumulation of urate can cause acute inflammation of the joints, with obvious pain, swelling and fever. 3. Knee joints can also be affected during gout attacks. The urate precipitation in the joints can cause severe pain, limited joint movement, and may be accompanied by local fever. 4. Other lower limb joints such as metatarsophalangeal joints and tarsus joints may also be the site of gout attacks. These joint pain attacks are often more sudden, often at night or early morning, to bring great pain to the patient. In short, gout mainly causes joint pain, and often lower limb joints. The attack of gout is closely related to the level of blood uric acid. When the level of blood uric acid is too high and exceeds its saturation, urate crystals are easy to precipitate and deposit in joints and other parts, thus inducing inflammatory reaction and producing pain and other symptoms. once gout is diagnosed, patients should follow their doctor's recommendations for treatment and lifestyle adjustments to control the condition, reduce the frequency of attacks and reduce the pain during attacks.

At the same time, blood uric acid levels need to be monitored regularly in order to adjust treatment regimens in a timely manner.
