- • Sudden Intense Joint Pain An acute gout attack can cause sudden, severe joint pain, often affecting the big toe, ankle, or knee.
- • Swelling And Redness: A gout flare-up can cause the affected joint to become swollen, red, warm, and tender to the touch.
- • Visible Lumps Under the Skin Hard lumps called tophi can develop under the skin in people with long-term gout and may indicate urate crystal buildup.
- • Repeated Gout Attacks Frequent or recurring gout attacks may be a sign that you need medical evaluation and a long-term gout treatment plan.
- • Limited Range of Motion During a gout flare-up, pain and swelling may make it difficult to move the affected joint normally.
