A member asked:
Is there anything other than gout that could cause gout-like symptoms at base of big toe ?

See details: What do you call gout-like symptoms. Gout causes intense redness, pain and swelling of the joint at the base of the great toe. The key word is intense. If that is not you then you do not have gout. If that is you, then you do.
