When you have gout, urate crystals can build up in your joints for years without you knowing they are there. When there are a lot of crystals in your joints, some of them can spill out from the cartilage into the space between the two bones in a joint.
The tiny, hard, sharp crystals can rub against the soft lining of the joint, called the synovium, causing a lot of pain swelling and inflammation. When this happens, it’s known as an attack or flare of gout.
Cross-section of joint with urate crystals. During an attack of gout the affected joint becomes:
1. very painful
2. tender
3. red
4. hot
5. swollen.
The skin over the joint often appears shiny and may peel off a little as the attack settles. Attacks usually come on very quickly, often during the night. Doctors describe this sudden development of symptoms as ‘acute’. The attack usually settles after about five to seven days, but it can go on for longer.
If gout is left untreated, attacks can become more common and may spread to new joints. Attacks typically affect the joint at the base of the big toe and often start in the early hours of the morning. The symptoms develop quickly and are at their worst within just 12 to 24 hours of first noticing that anything is wrong. Any light contact with the affected joint is very painful – even the weight of a bedsheet or wearing a sock can be unbearable. Although gout most often affects the big toe, other joints may also be affected, including:
1. other joints in your feet
2. ankles
3. knees
4. elbows
5. wrists
6. fingers.
It’s possible for several joints to be affected at the same time. It’s not common to have gout in joints towards the centre of your body, such as the spine, shoulders or hips.
Gout attacks are especially common in joints at the ends of your legs and arms, such as in your fingers and toes. This is probably because these parts of the body are cooler, and low temperatures make it more likely for crystals to form. Similar attacks can be caused by a condition called acute calcium pyrophosphate crystal arthritis. This is also known as acute CPP crystal arthritis, which used to be called ‘pseudogout’.
