2. Tenderness
Even after the most severe moments of a gout attack have passed, you may still find yourself with long-term tenderness affecting the joints. This may be felt in the big doe for example and it is often described as a radiating pain that also affects other parts of the body.
You might likewise notice that the pain is felt throughout the foot but with particular focus being on the toe. It can last for weeks and again make walking and even standing difficult.
