Gout - causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, pathology

My mom had been to doctor this evening who said that she has the Gout. I searched for gout and this video has really helped me understand what she's facing and the exact symptoms described in this video matched her situation. Thank-you for making such wonderful video. It's not only helping medical students, but also to normal people who are completely unknown about these problems and these animated short videos help us understand at best!

A daily dose of magnesium can prevent gout attacks because magnesium lowers uric acid levels. Since I have taken 500 mg of magnesium daily my gout attacks have completely disappeared; I wish my doctor would have told me this, he could have saved me years of pain and sleepless nights.

Gout can be INCREDIBLY painful...to the point where you can't put any pressure at all on your foot. That means no walking at all. It really sucks. It feels like having a broken bone in your foot.

I have gout for a few years, I want to comment on how I have ""controlled" it" In addition to taking Allopurinol I have a diet, Ripe banana. (Not Banana) boiled well, then smoothie with strawberries and blueberries. Some Yogurts, (Not all) Meat, Yes meat, but Goat, Also Rabbit. and Tilapia Fish There is a Rice called Basmati. (Low GI), Crab too but from king crab. Tumeric helps too. Flour tortillas a little. Eggs Skim milk..,Some vegetables but not all. Avocado, Cilantro, Celery, Carrots, Zucchini, Eggplant, Taro, Nopal, A little pinto beans and a certain type of lentils. Potatoes (Not fried) If you like them fried, use an "air Frier" Good luck and Blessings!

I've experienced gout countless times, in pretty much every joint. Gout in my elbow though, worst pain I've ever experienced. Ever. I bumped it into a wall, and my brain said F-this, I'm out. I woke up on the ground a few minutes later seriously wanting to die. I wouldn't wish gout on my worst enemy.

I looked and looked for a remedy for my gout. I had extreme, severe pain. I tried some expensive supplements, but I didn't see any results. Finally, I saw on someone's comment under a gout video, take baking soda. I followed his advice, one and a half teaspoons of baking soda, once in the morning and before bed. I mixed it with at least 16 oz of tart cherry juice (a natural anti-inflammatory). I also soaked my foot in hot water for 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the evening. I could tell a difference fairly quickly. The pain and sensitivity went down each day. After three or four days, I could walk normally and with no pain. Thanks for that comment.

All I know I’m praying for the doctor to give my symptoms a name and treat immediately. I’ve been suffering way too long . Just trying to live my best life and cannot…..😢

About 3+ years ago I used to get Gouty attacks roughly every 1 - 2 months in my knees and big toe. It was excruciatingly painful... I found the cure! (for me at least) I became vegan and haven't had an attack since... I don't drink soda or consume high fructose corn syrup either... so that, I am assuming, helped

I'm 24 years old have been suffering from gout for three days. Desperately painful. Maybe it's time for me to change my lifestyle.. Thank you for this video!

I saw this on wikipedia! I have gout now, and you guys did a really good job of explaining it carefully and slowly with great and easy to understand visuals. It's much better than looking at a bunch of text all together. Great job, and thanks for your work! :)

You forgot mentioning that you should not take Alopurinol or any other medication that decreases Uric acid during an Acute gout attack, giving it can worsen the attack. And if the patient is already on alopurinol, you should not increase the dose or take it out. Love your videos!

I’ve dealt with gout for about 6 years now, it’s one of the worst pains I’ve ever experienced. I developed gout from heavy drinking in college. For me I dont get it in my toes, it’s always my ankles. I’m 29, active but 260lbs, but I get gout attacks pretty often (maybe once every couple of months). I take 300mg allopurinol, but not sure if it actually does a good job managing gout. Just wanted to hear what other people have done to overcome this horrible condition. I will say, some home remedies I’ve found to be amazing are black cherry juice and a ton of celery for anyone who is experiencing gout. And for meals just do brown rice and eggs until it clears up.

If anyone needs advice on getting rid of out, I would advise you to look at your diet such as this video lays out, but to also look into fixing your gut bacteria in addition to losing any excess weight. I lost weight, started eating a consistent diet that wasn't nearly as strict as these videos suggest you need to be, and started taking daily probiotics. I haven't had a flare up since. Your intestinal microbiota help with metabolozing of purine and uric acid. I don't know the person reading this, but if you have gout and aren't just eating ridiculous amounts of trigger foods - you probably have a problem with your gut bacteria, like I did. If your gut isn't helping, it puts the burden on your liver.

I really love how you break down to explain complex things.

As a med student I can say that I deeply appreciate your videos.

These videos are perfect to go along with classes!! Succinct and comprehensive overview.

I'm loving it <3 I have a nursing final exam next week Monday and these videos are making my life a lot easier.

I'm having my first gout attack. I never knew my big toe could hurt so much. Dr. appointment today. Pain is intense.

I have this gout 2x attack with a week interval, the meds helps but I found a way to treat it normally in the 3rd time attack, a hot towel cloth (soaked in hot boiled water) and placed it on the painful part, as long as u can bear the heat, repeat it for as long u can even a half a day time, it will help..no more meds until then since first quarter of 2020 at the hype of covid pandemic. cheers.

Very clear and helpful. This seem to be one of the best, video on this inflammatory illness. Thanks for the information and the clarity of the presentation.
