Swollen Joints

In my gout survey, I ask which swollen joints you suffer with.

Most of you have more than one inflamed joint - the average is two, but many are affected in almost every joint.

I thought the big toe would be highest, but it is just beaten by other parts of the foot.

These are the results showing which joints are affected by gout.

In my survey, I also ask you about other symptoms of gout. Pain is an obvious symptom, but others are common. I have prepared another graph showing tingling swollen hands and other gout symptoms.
