Gout is caused by the accumulation in the joint of crystals of a byproduct chemical of metabolism known as uric acid. When uric acid crystals accumulate, it causes inflammation in a joint. Joint inflammation causes pain, redness, heat, and swelling of the joint. Early symptoms of gout that are similar to rheumatoid arthritis consist of redness, swelling, sensitivity and painful inflammation of the joints. Joints may be sore and feel warm to the touch. In general, gout affects only one joint at a time and RA affects many joints at the same time on both sides of the body. Both rheumatoid arthritis and gout can cause disfiguring and distortion in the joints, causing fingers and toes to twist and seize due to joints being deformed by the disease. Gout and RA can cause erosion in the joint and permanent joint damage.
