I seem to have crystals on the ball of my foot. They are not painful while walking but bother me at night. I have had gout but take tart cherry upon onset and the gout in my toe disappears. I am wondering if these crystals are gout related or nerve related? Tart Cherry works so well as a natural treatment for gout.
Gout can involve multiple joints. In my case, there is a numb feeling in my upper ball joint just under the toes. It is usually my small toes that hurt, especially if I walk too far. It is not just the big toe. It can also spread to the wrists, ankles, and other parts of the body. Doctors call it polyarticular gout.

Treating gout effectively requires an understanding of how and why gout occurs. By increasing alkalinity, uric acid is less likely to crystallize and gout attacks are reduced
Gout Videos
Here is a selection of videos related to gout.
Unfortunately the French word for taste, without accented letter o, is gout, so some of the videos may not be to your taste - just try another.
