Gout is extremely painful and it can attack all major and minor joints of the body. It can even affect the ear lobes. Caused by an excess of Uric Acid not being cleaned out through the kidneys. This "extra" acid attacks the fluid which lubricates the joints forming crystals in place of fluid. As the joint moves the crystals grind between the moving parts. The fluid cannot be reproduced by the body or synthetically.
Over time the joints become twisted out of normal shape and eventually seize up.
