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.
Sudden Flare-Up
Crystals can trigger sudden inflammation, causing intense pain, swelling and redness.
The absence of pain does not mean the absence of crystals.
Signs & Symptoms
You Might Notice
Sudden severe joint pain
Swelling, warmth, or redness in a joint
Joint stiffness or tenderness
Severe big toe pain
Waking up at night with joint pain
Difficulty walking during flare-ups
These can appear suddenly and vary from person to person.
If symptoms are severe, persistent and recurrent, seek medical advice promptly.

How to Protect Your Joints
for the Long Run
A complete approach works best: small daily choices combined with the right support.
Everyday Choices That Help
Stay hydrated
Drink enough water daily to help your body flush out excess uric acid.
Mind your plate
Enjoy a balanced diet. Limit high-purine foods like innards and seafood.
Maintain a healthy weight
Even small steps can help reduce the risk of flare-ups.
Keep moving
Regular physical activity supports overall health and joint comfort.
Targeted Support That Protects
For many people, lifestyle changes may not be enough.
Targeted uric acid management may help lower uric acid levels and prevent crystal build-up, reducing the risk of future flare-ups.
Work with your healthcare professional to find the long-term plan that's right for you.
Medication may be part of a personalised plan when appropriate and prescribed by your healthcare professional. Never start or stop any medication without medical advice.
