A member asked:
Can the gout spread from one joint to another in a toe?

Yes: It doesn't really spread, but if you have gout, you can get it in many joints. You need medical treatment and diet control.

Joint pain, inflammation and redness in my left big toe joint. Initially thought it to be a progressive running injury, but suspect gout. Voltaren and cataflam have helped reduce the symptoms, but after being off them for a day, the pain and swelling returns.
