When gout attacks occur, the pain is usually at the first toe joint of the big toe, which is where the big toe meets the palm of the foot. However, it may also occur at other bone parts or joints, such as the ankle joint, dorsum of the foot, knee joint, elbow joint, wrist joint, finger joint, etc. It is mainly due to the poor blood circulation at the end of the limb and the easy deposition of monosodium urate at the end of the limb. The main manifestations are redness, swelling, heat, and swelling at the onset of the attack with intense pain, which occurs at night and usually gets relieved after a few weeks. Gout attacks in the big toe should be kept at rest or the pain relieved by applying local heat. For acute attacks of gout, colchicine, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, celecoxib, etoricoxib, etc., can be used as prescribed, or if the pain is severe, glucocorticoids such as prednisone, prednisolone, etc., can also be used as prescribed. For patients with intermittent attacks or in chronic phase, treatment with uric acid-lowering drugs such as febuxostat and benzbromarone can be prescribed. If necessary, treatment can be done by surgical removal of gout stones. Gout patients need to control the intake of high purine foods, such as animal liver, broth, soy products, mushrooms, purple cabbage, fish, meat and poultry. They also need to limit alcohol consumption, prohibit smoking and increase water consumption. Avoid strenuous exercise or sudden exposure to cold, maintain a regular diet, and control weight.
