Some times we all have things going on with our bodies that cause us to think we have something wrong, it is easy to get worried. Here are a few things that may signal that you have gout, as always go to a Dr and explain your symptoms and ask him to run some tests.

  • Big Toe Pain
  • Big Toe Red and swollen
  • Big Toe is hot to the touch
  • Big toe is to tender to touch

You will notice that all these gout symptoms are to do with your big toe, that is because usually your big toe joint is where uric acid crystals will settle and cause the agony that is gout.

After much persistence from me I finally persuaded him to go and see our doctor next week, the doctor is great but I am worried my husband won’t tell him the full truth.  He says the swelling isn’t painful for him but his feet are very swollen, and his big toe looks very red to me and feels warm.

He isn’t overweight and hasn’t had any other problems with his feet, I am worried he has gout and he thinks I am over reacting. If he had gout wouldn’t it hurt?
