Gout Picture
The gout picture section includes photographs and images about gout in various gouty categories
As well as gout photographs to show you various gout symptoms and treatments, I have a wide range of gout pics that I use to illustrate articles.
I always need more gout images. If you have any pictures or videos to share, instructions for sending them are near the end of this page.
The Gout Picture Section covers the following categories:
Gout Photo
Photographs of gout, usually showing tophi, swollen joints, or other gout symptoms.
Uric Acid
Molecule
So very small
So very cruel
- This photograph shows a right index finger and right foot that have been disfigured by gouty tophi bursting through the skin. This stage of gouty arthritis, referred to as tophaceous gout, should never occur if gout is managed properly. It happens after years of untreated high uric acid.
It is supplied by a contributor to the gout forum, who hopes it might prompt fellow gout sufferers into taking action before this happens. He also notes:
However, I am not bearing the whole blame by myself. I also blame the medical industry for not more rigorously cautioning, warning, treating me.
- Photographs of MRI scans showing uric acid crystals deposited as gouty tophi growing in the spinal joints.

Gout Image
Gout images are not direct pictures of gout, but relate to gout. These pictures include charts, tables, and sketches. There are some photographs but not actual gout, as these are listed on the gout photographs page above.
Gout Crystals Image
Though you cannot see them without a microscope, the crystals that cause gout, formed from uric acid, are fascinating.
- Gout research illustration derived from a photograph of a swollen gouty big toe. A photograph of a magnified uric acid crystal is superimposed, giving the impression that we are looking into the gouty joint to see the uric acid crystals lurking below.

Not Gout
Usually to illustrate a point, or for pure decoration, I occasionally need images that have nothing to do with gout. For completeness, I list these here:
- Not gout related. I created this image for a joke (almost) response to a gout forum discussion about diet. It is inspired by Frank Skinner's joke (almost) about the baby food diet fad and Reese Witherspoon.
