Posted On: June 12, 2023

Dr. Deep Shah, Ortho Trauma Surgeon at Shalby Hospitals Naroda, shares key insights about gouty arthritis, commonly known as gout. This is a form of arthritis characterized by severe pain, redness, and tenderness in joints. The increase of uric acid in the body is a chief reason for this. Pain and inflammation occur when too much uric acid crystallizes and deposits in the joints. Symptoms of gout include severe pain, redness, and swelling in joints, often the big toe of the leg. Attacks can come suddenly. Dr. Shah talks about its symptoms, how you can prevent it, and its treatment.
