What is gout,
really!?
Gout is a real medical disease caused by a buildup of uric acid in the body. When those levels rise too high, sharp crystals form in your joints, leading to intense pain, swelling, and inflammation.
Gout is chronic, serious, and absolutely deserves science-backed care. With the right treatment plan, it can be managed. And you deserve nothing less.
It’s not caused by a meal.
It’s not just an “old man’s problem”
And you’re not imagining it,
the pain really is that bad.
One question,
zero pressure
But if you answer you'll earn 10 invisible cool points ;)
