Gout is another common type of arthritis triggered by the buildup of urate crystals in the body’s joints. People with a high level of uric acid in their blood might be at higher risk of developing this condition. Family history, alcohol abuse, diet, and age are major risk factors of gout. If left untreated, it would lead to very painful symptoms in different parts of the body, including wrist, hand, knee, ankle, feet, and toe. The base of the big toe is mostly affected though it would possibly affect various joints. An acute attack would occur in several hours, but the pain might persist for many days or even weeks. [3]
