What are the symptoms of gout?
Gout presents itself with a number of often painful symptoms. According to the NHS, it traditionally targets the big toe. However, gout symptoms can also impact the joints in your feet, hands, wrists, elbows or knees.
Pain in the joint is the most common sign of gout.
Alongside pain, symptoms can include hot, swollen, red skin over the affected joint.
These symptoms can last anywhere from five to seven days.
