A little more than 2 million Americans experience gout symptoms annually. In order to lessen your likelihood of suffering gout for too long, you must find out what to look for to get instant treatment and decrease your recovery time. After reading about the alarm bells you should be alert to below, you'll be able to avoid the more devastating aspects of gout more easily.

You'll probably wake up to the first of several gout symptoms with a jolt. You'll feel the throbbing of an inflamed joint, and when you peel back the bed sheet to take a look, you'll see a shiny red joint with skin tightly pulled over it. More than likely, your big toe will be the offender, but other joints can join the party too. Keep an eye on your fingers, wrists, elbows and ankles.

Next, monitor the pain your joint to see if it becomes more painful over several hours. After a few hours have passed, you may not even be able to touch the joint without wincing due to the excruciating pain.

Sometimes gout symptoms show themselves as a slight fever and extreme fatigue. If you feel constantly tired and listless, in addition to having a painful joint, then you may have gout. Or if your temperature is 99.5 degrees F or more, along with having a painful joint, you could have gout.

So to run down the gout symptoms checklist:

- Do you have a shiny, red, swollen joint that warm and painful to the touch?

- Does the pain get progressively worse over the course of a few hours?

- Do you feel slightly feverish or greatly fatigued, in addition to having the painful joint?

If you experience these gout symptoms, get treatment from a doctor or use a natural remedy as quickly as possible.
