The harm of gout stones to patients is also related to the location. For example, gout stones in auricle have no effect on limb activities, while gout stones in finger joints will obviously limit hand activities, and gout stones in toes and ankles will affect walking. Some large gout stones need surgical resection and plastic surgery before joint activity can return to normal. Sometimes gout stones will burst by themselves, and uric acid crystals will come out through the skin, which will make patients suffer from inconvenience and pain for a long time. If bacterial infection occurs in the ulcerated part, local ulceration and suppuration will occur, even septicemia or septicemia will lead to death. Others were forced to amputate their fingers and toes because of uncontrollable infections. It can be seen that the harm of gout stones to the body must not be underestimated. The author once treated a 30-year-old gout patient, whose fingers, toes, elbows, knees and other places festered with many gout stones of different sizes, and some of them were suppurated and infected, and had been in bed for several months. High fever persisted one week before admission. After admission, although the illness could not be controlled after various treatments, it was suspected to be septic septicemia. However, due to multiple purulent lesions in the limbs, it was impossible to be surgically removed, and finally he died of general failure and toxic shock.
