Gout can be a painful condition that occasionally requires collaborative care between rheumatologists, orthopedists, and neurologists to increase the patient\u2019s quality of life.

Gout is commonly caused by a buildup of uric acid, a natural bodily waste product, in the joints. Too much uric acid causes crystals to form in the joints, causing pain, inflammation, and swelling. A rheumatologist typically treats gout, but orthopedic and neurologic care is sometimes recommended.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” admin_label=”About Area” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|40px|10px|40px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”|0px||0px||true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#002f47″ text_font_size=”17px” text_line_height=”1.5em” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_2_text_color=”#33658a” header_2_font_size=”25px” header_2_letter_spacing=”1px” header_3_font=”||||||||” animation_style=”fold” animation_direction=”left” animation_intensity_fold=”5%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n While gout can affect any joint, it\u2019s most commonly found at the end of the limbs in the fingers, toes, ankles, and knees.

Symptoms of a gout attack include:<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Gout attacks tend to follow a pattern of symptoms, developing suddenly over a few hours.
