Do you experience painful inflammation of the big toe? It could be a gout attack, a type of arthritis that usually affects the big toe joint. Foods high in purine, a chemical found in red meat, fish, and some alcohols, can trigger a gout attack by raising the level of uric acid in the body. Uric acid is normally excreted in the urine, but may be produced in large amounts or not excreted in sufficient quantities in some people. Most often, uric acid is deposited in the big toe or ankle. The patient wakes up with a red swollen joint. It is extremely painful. If necessary, a doctor prescribes anti-inflammatory drugs for relief and suggests a low purine diet for prevention. Here are 4 ways to prevent gout on the foot: https://piedreseau.com//4-traitements-maison-pour-la-gout/
