A little more than 2 million Americans experience gout symptoms annually. In order to lessen your likelihood of suffering gout for too long, you must find out what to look for to get instant treatment and decrease your recovery time. After reading about the alarm bells you should be alert to below, you'll be able to avoid the more devastating aspects of gout more easily. One of the first gout symptoms you'll likely experience will sneak up on you at night while you sleep. You'll be jolted awake by shiny red and swollen skin pulled tautly over an inflamed joint, usually the big toe. Other joints can get afflicted too, though, so check your knees, fingers, wrists, and elbows for pain. Then you should continually check to see if your joint pain gets worse over a few hours. After several hours have gone by, you may find that touching the joint without wincing is impossible due to the horrible pain. Gout symptoms can sometimes be disguised as feeling extremely tired or having a slight fever. If you're tired all the time or have a temperature of 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, along with a swollen joint that's warm and painful to touch, then you're having a gout attack. So, to go over the gout symptoms checklist again, ask yourself the following questions: - Do you have a shiny, red, swollen joint that warm and painful to the touch? - Is the pain worse now than it was a few hours ago? - In addition to the painful joint, do you have a slight fever or do you feel fatigued? If so, get treatment from your doctor or try a gout symptoms remedy as soon as you can.
