Gout?: Though your spelling is throwing me off a bit, i think you are referring to uric acid, and that is a hallmark of gout, a painful joint disorder typically due to uric acid crystals settling in joints, with a propensity to cause problems with the big toe (halux). Good luck!

Need to see a doctor: You amy have gout which requires medication to lower the uric acid and level and relieve the pain.
