10 Symptoms of Gout in Foot
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #3: Cannot Walk
It is important for us to be able to walk around freely. People with disabilities can use wheelchairs, although even then they can be reliant on others to push them around. If they are unlucky, even otherwise able-bodied people can find themselves unable to move around if they develop certain conditions.
The sheer pain of gout in the foot can make it very difficult for people to walk. Even with a stick or walking frame, the pain of putting any pressure on the joint can be too unbearable. It is common for patients to be laid up for most of the time until the condition can be successfully treated.
