Why Gout Keeps Coming Back

It's not just about the pain. It's what happens beneath the surface.

The Trigger

Certain foods, alcohol, dehydration or genetics can raise uric acid levels.

Silent Build-Up

Uric acid can stay high and form sharp crystals in your joints, even when the pain stops.

Crystals can trigger sudden inflammation, causing intense pain, swelling and redness.

The absence of pain does not mean the absence of crystals.
