Gout is a condition that was first identified as early as 2640 BC by the ancient Egyptians. Hippocrates, the legendary Greek physician, referred to gout as unwalkable disease in 5th century BC, and observed links between the condition and certain lifestyle areas. Even so, gout remains a major and growing public health problem, and one that can be extremely painful to those unfortunate enough to suffer from it. Ive been shot, beat up, stabbed and thrown out of a helicopter, but none of that compared to the gout, said one veteran visiting a VA Hospital in Birmingham, AL. This complex form of arthritis is characterized by the onset of sudden and severe pains. Fortunately, it can be treated, and there are preventative measures that can be taken to reduce its risk.
