  Gout and pseudogout are diseases caused by inflammation and crystal accumulation in the joints. Gout results from uric acid crystals, while pseudogout stems from calcium pyrophosphate crystals. Both are marked by sudden, painful swelling in one or more joints. Gout attacks can be triggered by eating purine-rich foods like seafood, alcohol, and red meat, while pseudogout may be due to joint injury, surgery, or immune issues.

• Hyperuricemia

  Hyperuricemia is an increased uric acid level in the blood. Causes include alcohol intake and high consumption of meat and seafood. It's also associated with health conditions such as diabetes, heart, and kidney disease. It can lead to several diseases, including gout, a painful type of arthritis.

• Lumbar spondylosis

  A condition in which the backbones (lumbar spine) become damaged due to wear and tear. Risk factors include repetitive back strain, carrying heavy loads, and obesity.
