Gout is a painful form of inflammatory arthritis caused by a build-up of uric acid in the blood, leading to sharp, needle-like crystals forming in joints, most commonly the big toe, causing sudden, severe flares of redness, swelling, and intense pain. These attacks come and go, but untreated gout can become chronic, affecting multiple joints and potentially causing long-term damage, though it’s manageable with lifestyle changes and medication.
