You'll have to look up the symptoms of gout, and see if they match. Gout can cause swelling, it often shows up in the toes and it is very painful.
If you think it is gout, then you should change your diet.

For response of lack of money, there are free clinics, and places like emergency rooms have to help you... [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]
