The typical symptom of a gout attack is foot pain, whether it is in the left or right foot, usually the pain tends to occur in the first metatarsophalangeal joint, and the patient will experience redness, swelling, heat and pain in the back of the foot and ankle. If foot pain occurs, the first thing you need to do is to rule out whether the patient has had any recent trauma or whether he or she is strained. Because the foot is a weight-bearing joint, other diseases need to be ruled out. At the same time, the patient should be checked for increased uric acid and then judged according to the patient’s medical history and lifestyle before the diagnosis of gout can be made.
