Hi,
In gout arthritis involved joint usually red and inflamed and painful.Your uric acid level should be checked.
I suggest you investigate with as follow:
-Uric acid estimation
-Ankle joint X ray
-CRP
-RA factor estimation
You can revert back with reports for more discussion.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
