What is Gout? Gout is a type of arthritis characterized by intense joint pain, often caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints. The crystals trigger inflammation, leading to severe pain and swelling. While the big toe is the most common site for gout attacks, it can affect other joints like the ankles, knees, elbows, wrists, and fingers.
