Gout occurs when uric acid builds up in the joints, especially in the feet, knees, and hands. Gout sufferers must avoid or reduce their intake of foods rich in purines, substances the body converts into uric acid.
Gout has been known since ancient times for its sudden attacks of severe pain, along with redness and joint stiffness, most commonly in the big toe. Persons affected occasionally wake up in the middle of the night feeling as though their big toe were on fire. And no, this is not a joke!
