Signs and symptoms
==================

Gout is characterized by excruciating, sudden, unexpected, burning pain, as well as swelling, redness, warmth, and
stiffness in the affected joint. This occurs commonly in men in their toes but can appear in other parts of the
body and affects women as well. Low-grade fever may also be present. The patient usually suffers from two sources of pain. The crystals inside the joint cause intense pain whenever the affected area is moved. The inflammation of the tissues around the joint also causes the skin to be swollen, tender and sore if it is even slightly touched. For example, a blanket or even the lightest sheet draping over the affected area could cause extreme pain.

Gout usually attacks the big toe (approximately 75 percent of first attacks); however, it also can affect other joints such as the ankle, heel, instep, knee, wrist, elbow, fingers,
and spine. In some cases, the condition may appear in the joints of small toes that have become immobile due to impact
injury earlier in life, causing poor blood circulation that leads to gout.

Patients with longstanding hyperuricemia can have uric acid crystal deposits called tophi
(singular: tophus) in other tissues such as the helix of the ear. Elevated levels of uric acid in the urine can lead to uric acid crystals precipitating in the kidneys or bladder, forming uric acid kidney stones.
