gout is a complex form of arthritis and is characterized by sudden,
severe attacks of pain , redness , tenderness and swelling in the joints, often
the joint at the base of the big toe (approximately 50 % of cases) . Other
joints, such as the heels, knees , wrists and fingers, may also be affected .
