National Gout Awareness Day is held annually on May 22 to raise awareness of gout, a painful form of arthritis affecting over 8.3 million Americans. While gout is very common, 90% of Americans know little about it and only 10% of sufferers receive needed ongoing treatment. The Gout & Uric Acid Education Society provides free online resources to educate the public and medical professionals about gout. Gensco Laboratories is supporting their efforts by sharing information about gout on social media to commemorate National Gout Awareness Day.
