Gout Uric Acid Crystals Cause for Kidney Stones and Sore Foot Pain

Are you experiencing a kidney stone, as well as a pain in your foot? You may be suffering from gout.

Gout is caused by deposits of uric acid, a by-product of meat. This very painful condition is uric acid crystals settling into your joints, creating:

  • heat
  • pain
  • redness
  • swelling
  • stiffness

For many, an initial gout sign is a painfully swollen sore big toe and/or pains in the foot.

Gout is known to affect joints, such as:

  • heel
  • knee
  • wrist
  • elbow
  • finger
  • instep
  • ankles

So what does all this have to do with a your kidney? Kidney stones form out of the substances in your urine. The most common being calcium.

However, stones can be caused by uric acid also. If you over consume acid in your diet, uric acid crystals can collect in your kidney. In turn, a uric acid stone may form.

If you tend to form uric acid stones and experience incidences of foot pain together, you may need to cut back on the amount of meat you eat.
