gouty
Swollen with urate
Gouty means affected by or relating to gout, a painful form of arthritis caused by uric acid crystals in the joints: his gouty foot, a gouty old gentleman.
The word often evokes images of red-faced aristocrats with swollen, bandaged feet—gout being historically associated with rich food and drink.
