What Causes Swollen Ankle And Feet While Suffering From Gout?
Question: my feet and ankle swell up I have a gout problem I have no pain
Brief Answer:
Can be a dependent swelling.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The swelling of ankle and feet can be due to gout or due to keeping on your feet for long hours. If there is no pain then any major inflammation is less likely.
You can keep your feet elevated on two pillows while resting and decrease your salt intake. Avoid any overuse of laxatives.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
