A member asked:
My husband woke up this morning with a burning pain in his right knee. it wasnt constant, but came in spasms, and it felt hot to the touch. is it gout?

Possibly: Gout affects knees and big toe joints mostly. With no trauma or opening in the skin, warm red painful joints could be caused by gout when not accompanied by fever. Reduce motion, increase water intake and seek medical eval.

Could be: I would take him to the doctor for exam and blood work to see if it is gout.
