    Episode 1: Surprising Symptoms
    Nov 12 2020
    In the first episode of The Gout Show, we meet Ashley Newton, a gout patient who didn’t have telltale symptoms of gout, like red, painful toes. In fact, being a runner and experiencing knee pain after exercising is what ultimately helped her get diagnosed with gout. Ashley and Steve talk about the importance of being a proactive patient, staying on top of her symptoms, and how she doesn’t let gout define her life, especially when it comes to exercising and being active.
