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.

Then you should continually check to see if your joint pain gets worse over a few hours. After several hours have gone by, you may find that touching the joint without wincing is impossible due to the horrible pain.

Gout symptoms can sometimes be disguised as feeling extremely tired or having a slight fever. If you're tired all the time or have a temperature of 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, along with a swollen joint that's warm and painful to touch, then you're having a gout attack.

So to run down the gout symptoms checklist:

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

- Is the pain worse now than it was a few hours ago?

- Do you feel slightly feverish or very, very tired, in addition to having an inflamed joint?

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