WHAT IS GOUT:
Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis. That means you get symptoms such as severe pain and swelling in a joint like your finger or toe . Your joint might also turn red and start to feel hot. Gout can come up suddenly and that is known as a “flare up”, “bout of gout” or a “gout attack”.
However, it's important to remember that you can’t diagnose yourself with gout. That can only be done by a healthcare professional. And that’s because joint pain and swelling can occur for other reasons - for example, you could have an infection or something else other than gout. So if you think you might have gout, please book an appointment with your healthcare professional to get tested
WHEN TO SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE:
See your healthcare professional if you ave,
• Sudden severe pain in a joint - usually your big toe, but it can be in other joints in your feet, hands, wrists, elbows or knees
• Hot, swollen, red skin over the affected joint
These are symptoms of gout.
An attack of gout usually lasts 5 to 7 days, then gets better. It may not cause lasting damage to joints if you get treatment immediately.
Ask for an urgent appointment if,
• The pain is getting worse
• You also have a very high temperature (you feel hot and shivery)
• You also feel sick or cannot eat
These symptoms could mean you have an infection inside your joint and need urgent medical help.
GOUT PREVENTION:
You’re more likely to experience gout if you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart failure, diabetes or poor kidney function. As always, ask your Healthcare Professional the best way to try and solve these health problems, they are always happy to help.
If you’re overweight, you might want to consider losing weight. You can have a look at my weight loss videos here for some tips.
How to lose weight Part 1 - • Lose Weight Fast | How...
How to lose weight Part 2 - • Lose Weight | Exercise...
Red meat and tuna can contribute to a possible bout of gout - so eat these foods sparingly! I’ll leave a link below on more diet do’s and don’ts.
www.arthritis.org/health-well...
DEBUNKING MYTHS TIME: eating cherries might be good at reducing uric acids levels but there isn’t enough evidence to support this theory.
Do you take diuretics, also known as water tablets, every day? Check with your Pharmacist if you are experiencing symptoms of gout, as “water tablets” can be a common cause. Please remember that you should never stop taking your medication without the advice of a healthcare professional.
Also, certain drinks such as alcohol and fruit juice can increase your chances of gout, so you might want to consider cutting back on those! Don’t forget: Drinking plenty of water as an alternative is a great way to prevent gout too!
Smoking can make gout worse too. So if you haven’t thought about it yet, you might want to quit smoking - head over to my video on quit smoking for some tips!
Last but not least, maintain good joint health with regular low impact exercise such as walking cycling or swimming. More information available - www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise...

[@RealRen3977]

I’ve had gout on going for the last few years and i have recently got gout again on my right knee after just having it and being bed ridden for 3 weeks having gout on the left knee. This year I’ve made sure to change my diet and stop alcohol all together to try and fix it and after losing around 20KG I am still getting it. The doctors keep saying the same old thing drink water.change diet, stop alcohol and eat veggies I’ve done all this why am I still getting gout? Cause all the doctors give yah is the same colchicine for attacks or Allopurinol

[@nh64uk78]

I suffer from sporadic pseudogout. I last had it for 7 days, 2 and 1/2 years ago. I've had no problems until10th December 2022 - sitting at a desk with a bent leg for a few hours for a few days in a row seems to kick off my pseudogout. Today is 21st February 2023 and I just cannot get rid of the last 25% of pseudogout that keeps reoccurring in my right hand knee. Is this typical for sporadic pseudogout?

[@anthonybrinson2007]

Thank you for that informative information. It really help relieve all my anxiety about gout.

[@nurliza256]

I think another indication that one has gout is from their blood test result; if your uric acid level is high, chances are you have gout. This is my situation but I’m blessed that I had this condition for 3 years and can do without medication. I hope I could lower the uric acid level naturally. Any tips on this Dr? It’s a good and educational video.

[@hasansvideoz4645]

what you eating?

[@007pinballdoctor]

Uric acid causes gout and kidney stones but it also causes weight gain, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, heart attack, liver disease, kidney disease, erectile disfunction, bone and joint problems, colon breast and pancreatic cancer, dementia, and the list goes on and on. Sugar, especially fructose is directly metabolized into uric acid and the worst part is most doctors including this one has no clue that uric acid contributes to all these health problems. KZbin Doctor David Perlmutter and Doctor Richard Johnson.

How careful you are with the food intake you still can get flare up. To me I won't give up high purine food or achohol because of gout. If flare up just face it.

True. Best to avoid sugar and high carb food, especially anything with high fructose. Meat and red wine are fine with me.
