Painful condition often affecting the big toe (4)

I believe the answer is:

gout

(Other definitions for gout that I've seen before include "Disease causing pain in joints" , "Complaint" , "Painful inflammation of the foot" , "Painful disease of feet" , "Painful inflammation of the big toe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
