Signs of gout

Please tell your doctor if you do not cure the disease progression because I do not feel pain.

Your tummy aches are not painful, not fast, you can live peacefully. However, if that is the case you have gout, then treatment should be avoided so that the gout occurs many times. Gout can often be repulsed with existing medications, and if the patient complies with diet and diet, it can be prevented, but remember that this is an untreated disease.
Patients must adhere to a diet and life-long follow-up. If no treatment or gout occurs many times will cause destruction of the joints to disability, then the need for surgery to reconstruct the joint. Approximately 20% of patients with gout kidney stones due to urate crystals cause stones to block the urinary tract can cause kidney failure, infections ... affect life.

Some patients have subcutaneous cysts such as the elbow, ankle, etc. called tophi due to deposition of urate crystals that break down a white powder-like powder. According to the letter you describe, it is probably a tophi. However, to make sure you have gout, you should go for a blood test for hyperuricemia, and you may have an X-ray for a fractured joint so that your doctor will advise you on a specific treatment.
