Are you waking up with excruciating pain in your big toe? Does your toe feel red, swollen, and so painful that you can’t walk properly? You might be experiencing more than just a simple toe injury. In this video, Dr. Andrew Schneider, a podiatrist in Houston, Texas, uncovers the hidden cause of your toe pain and how it could be a warning sign of a serious health condition—gout.
Gout attacks often begin in the big toe and can cause sharp, needle-like pain in the joints, especially in the early morning hours. Dr. Schneider explains how gout is not just about toe pain, but is also a sign of inflammation in the body, which could be linked to cardiovascular problems, high blood pressure, and even kidney disease. He breaks down the science behind why gout attacks happen and what you should be looking for, including the common signs and symptoms that could indicate a serious underlying condition.
Understanding gout and how to manage it is key to preventing future flare-ups and protecting your overall health. Dr. Schneider shares his top tips for preventing gout attacks, including the importance of staying hydrated, managing your weight, and identifying personal triggers. He also emphasizes the importance of getting medical attention as soon as you notice symptoms, so that you can avoid permanent damage and address any related health concerns, like heart disease.
