Gout: It is a type of inflammatory (allergic reaction) condition that forms uric acid crystals and gets accumulated inside feet, knuckles, and surrounding bone joints. This occurs due to high uric acid levels in the blood, resulting in immense pain in joints. The pain may be severe, but the condition improves with medication. To avoid bone and cartilage damage and weakening of the kidneys, repeated gout attacks can require long-term medication. In areas such as the wrists, elbows, feet, or earlobes, chronic gout sufferers can feel small hard lumps forming over time in the soft flesh. These deposits are concentrations of uric acid crystals, called tophi, and over time can cause pain and stiffness.
