Where is the pain first?

Gout usually starts in the foot, especially the big toe joint. The foot,

especially the big toe joint, is a common first site for gout. Uric acid crystals are easy to deposit in this area. When uric acid levels fluctuate, it may trigger an inflammatory reaction, resulting in severe pain, redness and fever.

In

addition, the blood circulation in this area is relatively poor, and urate crystals are more likely to accumulate and difficult to be cleared in time, increasing the risk of gout attacks.

It should be noted that although the big toe joint is a common first site for pain, gout may also occur in other joints, such as the ankle joint, knee joint, finger joint, etc., and there may be differences between individuals. If gout is suspected, seek medical treatment in time to control the disease and reduce complications. At the same time, women should also pay attention to gout prevention, including maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reasonable diet, moderate exercise, weight control, etc., to reduce the risk of gout.
