What is the pain on the top of the foot with gout?

Gout is caused by a significant increase in blood uric acid, which forms uric acid crystals in the joints and over time can cause bone destruction and gout stone formation in the joints. Therefore, in order to avoid recurrent gout attacks, regular medication, including anti-inflammatory treatment during the acute period and regular application of uric acid-lowering drugs during the remission period, such as benzbromarone, allopurinol and febuxostat, should be used to keep the blood uric acid within the normal range and gradually dissolve the uric acid crystals in the joints, so as to avoid recurrent gout attacks.
