Gout

More than 8 million American adults are living with gout – about 4 percent of the population. And gout doesn’t always show warning signs before it strikes. It’s a condition that often appears suddenly, with the initial symptoms being painful swelling in lower body joints. 

Gout is one of many extremely common health conditions throughout America right now. In fact, it’s been estimated that the rates of this disease are increasing due to other common health issues that increase the risk of developing gout. Recent statistics indicate that over eight million American adults suffer from gout, making up at least four percent of the population.
