Beberapa penderita asam urat, juga dikenal sebagai artritis gout, mengatakan serangan dimulai dengan rasa terbakar, gatal, atau kesemutan pada persendian, mungkin satu atau dua jam sebelum kambuh. Sendi mungkin terasa sedikit kaku atau sedikit nyeri.

Tidak lama kemudian, tanda-tanda asam urat mulai terlihat.

Jika Anda mendapat serangan berulang kali, Anda akan mempelajari sinyal tubuh Anda bahwa serangan tersebut akan segera dimulai.

Kadang-kadang, penderita asam urat tidak memiliki tanda-tanda awal bahwa penyakit asam urat akan mulai kambuh.

Mereka mungkin terbangun di tengah malam dengan nyeri sendi yang sangat parah.

Saat kambuh mulai, kebanyakan orang mengalami kemerahan, bengkak, dan nyeri hebat, biasanya pada satu sendi.

Tempat paling umum terjadinya asam urat adalah pangkal jempol kaki.

Namun pada dasarnya asam urat bisa juga terjadi pada persendian lain seperti siku, lutut, pergelangan tangan, pergelangan kaki, dan punggung kaki.
