Frequently Asked
Gout Questions
We’re here to make your visit as easy as possible.
Below are answers to common questions about gout.
What is gout?
Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in a joint. It often causes sudden, intense pain, redness, warmth, and swelling.
What does a gout attack look like?
A gout flare often causes severe joint pain that begins suddenly, sometimes overnight. The affected joint may become swollen, red, warm, and extremely tender to the touch.
What joints are commonly affected by gout?
Gout most often affects the big toe, but it can also occur in the ankles, knees, wrists, fingers, and elbows.
Can Lansing Urgent Care treat gout?
Yes. Lansing Urgent Care can evaluate suspected gout and recommend treatment to help reduce pain and inflammation.
What causes gout flare ups?
Gout attacks may be triggered by high uric acid levels, dehydration, certain medications, alcohol, red meat, shellfish, illness, or changes in diet.
How is gout diagnosed?
Diagnosis is based on your symptoms, medical history, physical examination, and sometimes laboratory testing or additional evaluation.
How is gout treated?
Treatment may include anti inflammatory medication, pain relief, rest, hydration, and follow up care. Long term treatment may be needed for recurring gout.
How long does a gout attack last?
Without treatment, a gout flare can last several days or longer. Prompt treatment may help reduce the severity and duration of symptoms.
When should I seek medical care for gout?
Seek care for sudden severe joint pain, especially if the joint is red, swollen, warm, or difficult to move. Fever with a painful swollen joint should be evaluated promptly.
Can gout be prevented?
Some gout attacks can be reduced by staying hydrated, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting trigger foods and alcohol, and following any long term treatment plan recommended by your provider.
