10 Symptoms That May Indicate You Have Gout

Night Pain

If you have gout, you can more than likely relate to severe pain during the night. In many cases, gout significantly disrupts sleeping patterns. Although pain can occur during any time, uric acid is more likely to crystallize when exposed to lower temperatures. Since it is generally cooler at night, patients can wake up to the feeling of immense pain. It can be challenging to fall back asleep and in extreme cases, patients develop insomnia. In order to sleep more comfortably, try your best to manage symptoms on a daily basis.
