The Gout Blog by Gout Aware
What is Gout
Gout is
one of the oldest and most painful forms of Arthritis known to man.
Related to Kidney disease,
and also Heart Failure.
Gout is
caused by excess uric acid in the body that the kidneys were unable to
flush out.
The Uric
acid then forms into barbed Crystals which head for the
bodies extremities and tear into the synovial sacks in the joints,
causing extreme pain and swelling.
Long term effects are Kidney failure or Kidney stones, Heart failure
and debilitating maiming of the joints of the body.
This is one mean painful beast.
I will be adding various bits of Information into this area in the
weeks to come.
There are questionnaires within Gout-aware that are quick and can be
beneficial for you to fill them in, as it is interesting to see what
areas other people suffer their pain in and what medicines they use.
One Questionnaire is in the medicine section the other is a standalone
questionnaire.
Any Comments and articles you would like to submit feel free. All email
