GOUT CUPPING THERAPY
REDUCE URIC ACID THROUGH WET CUPPING & MOXIBUSTION
Gout symptoms typically present as sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, redness, and extreme tenderness in a single joint, most commonly the big toe. Often occurring at night, these attacks cause joints to feel hot, "on fire," and stiff, making even slight pressure unbearable. Symptoms generally peak within 12–24 hours, lasting for days to weeks.
Key Gout Symptoms
Intense Joint Pain: The pain is usually severe, often hitting the big toe, but can occur in the ankles, knees, elbows, wrists, and fingers.
Rapid Onset: Symptoms come on quickly, often in the middle of the night.
Redness and Inflammation: The skin around the joint becomes red, shiny, and swollen.
Extreme Tenderness/Heat: The joint feels very hot to the touch, and even light pressure—like a bedsheet—is unbearable.
Limited Motion: The ability to move the affected joint is significantly reduced.
Lingering Discomfort: After the initial sharp pain fades, joint discomfort may persist for a few days to weeks.
Long-Term or Chronic Symptoms
Tophi: Hard, painful lumps of uric acid crystals may form under the skin around joints, in hands, or in ears.
Recurrent Attacks: Untreated, attacks may become more frequent, last longer, and affect multiple joints.
Reduced Mobility: Persistent joint stiffness and damage.
