Gout arthritis
Gout is a common form of inflammatory arthritis that is very painful. It usually affects one joint at a time (often the big toe joint). There are times when symptoms get worse, known as flares, and times when there are no symptoms, known as remission

Keep in mind!!!! Hyperuricaemia is usually present in gout but levels may be normal during an attack because serum urate falls during inflammation. Acute gout is characterised by an elevated ESR and CRP and with a neutrophilia, all of which return to normal as the attack subsides
