Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis that affects joints, most commonly the big toe joint. Sometimes the symptoms may get worse or gout flares. Repeated bouts of gout can lead to gouty arthritis.
Most commonly affected are the toe joints, the ankle and the knee. The symptoms may include
- pain, usually intense
- heat
- redness
Gout signs and symptoms may be nonspecific and can be mistaken for other inflammatory diseases. Thus it is important to see your doctor if you have these symptoms. Specialists can diagnose and effectively manage gout and prevent it from getting worse.

If you have more than one flare up a year, it may be time to step up your gout treatment. Until now, nothing targeted the crystals in the joints of the big toe joint, hands, or knees quite like Krystexxa. 
Krystexxa is the only gout treatment that controls chronic gout by changing uric acid into a water–soluble substance called allantoin that your body easily gets rid of through urine. For those of you that have kidney disease and can’t take the usual gout medications, Krystexxa can treat your condition without harming your kidneys. Family Foot & Leg Center is one of the few Krystexxa Infusion Centers in Southwest Florida.
