Uric acid gout
When deposits of uric acid crystals build up in the synovial fluid that surrounds the joints, the human body’s immune system attempts to eliminate these crystals through the process of inflammation; unfortunately, this causes attacks of intense pain that can continue for days or even weeks if the condition is left untreated. Over time, uric acid crystals accumulate in the form of lumpy deposits under the skin of the ears, the elbows, and near the affected joints.
