10 Causes of Elbow Pain
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #7: Gout
In the past, gout used to be considered a disease that only wealthy people would suffer from. It was even considered to be a status symbol, with those having the condition proud to be able to boast about it. This was because it is caused by a diet of rich foods that only the wealthy could afford at the time.
Nowadays, even the less wealthy among us are able to afford a more indulgent diet. This means that gout is still very much a common problem today and it is known for being very painful. Medication is available to treat the condition and the patient should also try to eat a balanced diet to help prevent it from happening again.
