Gouty arthritis

Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis that occurs due to the accumulation of uric acid crystals in specific joints. Gouty arthritis of the sacroiliac joints can cause an inflammatory response, resulting in swelling, pain, and stiffness in the joint. The condition is usually accompanied by excruciating and debilitating pain, limiting the patient’s mobility. Gouty arthritis mostly occurs in middle-aged men and postmenopausal women.
