🦶 Is that sudden, intense pain in your big toe keeping you up at night?

It could be GOUT — and you're not alone. Gout is one of the most common forms of inflammatory arthritis, often striking the foot and ankle first. It's caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, leading to:

🔴 Severe pain and swelling
🔴 Redness and warmth around the joint
🔴 Tenderness even to the lightest touch

The good news? Gout is treatable — and early intervention can prevent future flare-ups and long-term joint damage.

At Garden State Foot & Ankle Group, Dr. Manooj Prasad and our expert team are here to help you find relief and get back on your feet. Whether it's your first flare-up or a recurring issue, we offer personalized care tailored to your needs.
