Gout is a painful form of arthritis caused by excess uric acid in the body, leading to sharp crystal deposits in the joints. Flare-ups are often triggered by stress, diet, alcohol or drug use, and certain illnesses.
While the big toe is most commonly affected, gout can also impact the insteps, ankles, heels, knees, wrists, fingers, and elbows. Uric acid buildup may form lumps under the skin that become red, swollen, warm, and tender. People with gout are also at higher risk for kidney stones.
