<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nGout can make life difficult for people who want to live an active and happier life. Gout is a type of arthritis characterised by joint pain and swelling. It is due to the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints. Gout can occur in joints, tendon sheaths (membranes surrounding tendons; tendons are tissues that connect bones and muscles), kidneys, and bursae (cushion-like sacs between bones and connected soft tissues). Many people get the first flare of gout on their big toes. Gout is a common phenomenon, especially in middle age. Men are more prone to gout than women. Women develop gout usually after menopause. Gout is a rare occurrence in the younger population. The gout pain often fares up at night and sometimes becomes painful enough to wake people up ^{1<\/sup><\/a>. Gout has no cure, but it is possible to treat and manage the symptoms with self-management strategies}^{2<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
