Acute Gout



Acute Gout is an attack that is intense in Character, accompanied with large painful areas that are inflammed and often giving off heat surrounding a joint.

Most commonly appearing in the large toe area but as a sufferer has more attacks the pain and swelling can move to other areas such as the heel, achilles heel, knees, fingers, shoulders, hips, ankles, elbows, wrists etc.

It can be also mis-diagnosed as bacterial cellulitis due to their similar appearance and symptoms.

Bacterial Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the skin which generally appears under the skin.
The most common of this infection is Streptococci, which spread throughout the body causing reddish inflammation also causing chills, and low blood pressure.



Acute gout is classified as a sudden and severe attack of a metabolic disease caused by uric acid that is deposited in the joints causing immobility.
Often the age of the victim is between 30 and 50 years old, and over 85% of the first acute attacks affect only one joint.

And this joint is mainly the base of the big toe.

The fastest and most common way to help cure this painful beast is the use of NSAIDs, which are fast acting and highly effective.

I have treated my own attacks with NSAID's and they worked over 2 to 3 days, the severe pain went down with the swelling but there was still a limp in my step for 2 weeks after this and other attacks.
