Causes of Gout Pain
Excess uric acid is the basis of pain, but the important thing for managing gout is understanding what triggers uric acid problems. The rest of this section is devoted to identifying possible gout triggers. Most gout flares are caused by a combination of one or more factors. The causes of gout are unique to you. Factors that trigger a gout flare in one person may be perfectly OK for someone else.My purpose is to identify common triggers so that you can assess if they apply to you. I've identified a number of these, and I'm compiling a list that you will be able to vote on. For now, please use the form in the Your Gout section to add your gout trigger.
