By Googling MPT inflammation, gout, I found a site that said this:
Symptoms usually begin as a sudden, severe, and unexpected arthritic attack affecting a single joint in one of the lower limbs, a condition known as monoarticular gout. The joint of the big toe is the site of about half of all first gout attacks--a specific condition called podagra. The site is often medically referred to as the big toe's metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint--the point where one of the long five bones of the foot meets the first digit of a toe.
