Joint ailment (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gout

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">joint ailment</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for gout that I've seen before include "Painful ailment, often of the foot" , "Inflammatory disease" , "Toe-swelling disease" , "Disease caused by excess uric acid in the bloodstream" , "Painful (joint) ailment" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
