What is gout, what does it feel like and what causes it

Are there any post ops that suffer from gout? What are your symptoms, and what causes it. My toe (right foot, next to pinky toe) hurts so bad I'm about to cry. can hardly walk without excruciating pain, and it's gone on for about a week now. I called and made an appt with a podiatrist but not going until Thursday. Just want feed back. Thank you all so much.
