In this episode, we explore gout treatment and how specialized rheumatology care can help manage joint pain, swelling, and sudden flare-ups. Gout is a common and highly treatable form of arthritis caused by elevated uric acid levels that lead to crystal deposits in the joints. These crystals trigger inflammation, often affecting the big toe, ankles, knees, hands, or wrists. We discuss why gout develops, what causes painful flares, and how early diagnosis combined with a personalized gout treatment plan can reduce discomfort and protect long-term joint health.

Presented by Rheumatology Center of Delaware – Wilmington, this episode explains how effective gout treatment focuses on two essential goals: relieving inflammation during active flares and lowering uric acid levels to prevent future attacks. Learn what to expect during a rheumatology evaluation, how blood testing supports accurate gout treatment decisions, and why consistent monitoring can lead to fewer flares and improved mobility. If you’re navigating recurring joint inflammation, this conversation offers clarity, reassurance, and guidance toward lasting relief.
