#Gout is also a form of #arthritis
Gout is a form of arthritis characterized by repeated flare-ups of intensely painful #swelling. It's caused by a buildup of uric acid in the fluid around the joints. This can be due to genetic predisposition, some diseases, or consuming too much meat, seafood, fructose-sweetened drinks, or alcohol. The bunion joint--the joint that connects the big toe to the foot--is often affected first in people who have gout.
