Inflammatory arthritis which starts with pain and swelling of the big toe is most likely caused due to gout. Gout is a common, yet preventable type of inflammatory arthritis that results from an excess accumulation of uric acid in the blood. While gout is chronic and progressive, there are medication options including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and injections that can help relieve symptoms of this condition over time.

Uric acid is a by-product that occurs naturally within the body during digestion and the breakdown of certain foods (called purines) like red meat and seafood. While gout is hereditary, it affects men more frequently than women by a ratio of about 3 to 1.

Signs and Symptoms of Gout

One of the first signs that someone has gout is sudden pain in one or more joints. Gout usually affects the big toe first, but it can also cause pain in other joints, like the ankle, foot and knee. In severe cases of gout, a person may experience pain in the fingers or wrists. In addition to the pain in his joints, an individual with gout may also experience kidney stones and damage to his or her kidneys.
