10 Symptoms of Gout in Foot
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Tenderness
Gout is painful, that much has been clearly explained already. The tissues surrounding the joint can become very tender and sore and touching it can make the problem even more painful. Even the slightest of touches can be agonizing and even clothing rubbing on the joint can be unbearable.
If you do have gout and you are suffering from such tenderness, it is wise to try and keep your foot in a safe place where it cannot come into contact with anything. Keep it away from people, pets or anything that might accidentally bump into it. Your doctor may be able to help you with medication to help soothe the pain.
