Gout usually effects the big toe but the problem, increased uric acid levels, is systemic and gout can effect many joints in the body. Before you self-diagnose your mother, though, be sure to get her to the doctor. He/she should be able to properly diagnose the cause of your mothers pain. Good luck!
