Gout

Symptoms

Gout is typically manifested as an acute inflammation of the big toe (these attacks are called podagra), but any joint can swell during an episode of gout, such as a knee, elbow, wrist or ankles, or any joint of the fingers, because the crystals are deposited in any joint.

A person is more likely to get gout if:

He is male.
Has a family history of gout.
