Swelling in the knee of a 69 year old male patient due to gout. Gout is a condition in which crystals of uric acid are deposited inside joints, usually due to high levels of uric acid in the blood. It leads to swelling of the joints and sudden intense pain upon moving or even lightly touching the affected joint. Treatment is with painkillers, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and uric acid-lowering medicine. | |
